LOW VISCOSITY ORANGE JUICE CONCENTRATES USEFUL FOR HIGH BRIX PRODUCTS HAVING LOWER PSEUDOPLASTICITY AND GREATER DISPERSIBILITY

摘要

Low viscosity orange juice concentrates which are usefulin preparing high Brix concentrate products that are lesspseudoplastic at freezer temperatures and are more highlydispersible when reconstituted with water are disclosed.These low viscosity orange juice concentrates are obtained bysubjecting concentrated orange juice to high shear treatmentfor a period of time sufficient to reduce the mean particle ofthe sinking pulp at least about 40 microns and thus lower theviscosity of the concentrated juice. The mean particle size ofthe sinking pulp in these low viscosity orange juiceconcentrates is typically about 125 microns or less.
