Abstract

Compositional characterization of commercially produced frozen pineapple juice concentrate and aseptically produced pineapple juice concentrate has been completed on 54 samples collected over a period of 3 years. This is a continuation of an ongoing program by the National Food Processors Association to develop compositional data on authentic fruit juice concentrates. Samples were collected from major pineapple producing areas around the world. Subsamples of each sample were sent to seven laboratories for the analytical determinations. Analytical ranges, means, and standard deviations were consistent for all analytes tested within and between years. The data developed by the project will be useful in evaluating the authenticity of commercially produced pineapple juice concentrate. Copyright 1997 Academic Press.
