- Abstract
This study aimed at evaluating the chemical, physical and microbiological stability of clarified umbu juice. The microfiltered juice was filled in sanitized glass bottles in a clean chamber system and stored in incubator at 6°C for 90 days. Juice samples were collected immediately after processing and each 30 days during storage period for evaluation of the product main quality parameters. Clarified juice showed clear appearance, being slightly yellowish and free of suspended solids. The juice presented antioxidant activity, probably related to their vitamin C and phenolic compounds contents. The storage of clarified umbu juice in glass bottles at 6°C allowed good preservation of the product characteristics, which remained proper for consumption during 90 days.
