Application of Enzymatic Analysis in Juice Detection

2021-04-19

Introduction: Juices are rich in a variety of ingredients, and enzymatic analysis is a very useful tool for finalizing these ingredients. The Ireland Megazyme Enzymatic Assay Kit is a specific, multi-detectable kit for quantitative analysis. The advantage of using such a kit is that it is time-saving on the one hand and a high degree of safety in its experimental operation on the Other hand. Most enzymatic methods are widely recognized by IFU (International Federation of Fruit Producers), AIJN (Fruit and Beverage Producers Alliance) and other standards organizations as standard test methods. The experiment can be operated under a spectrophotometer.

Several elements in juice analysis:

1. Accurate and quantitative control of raw materials
2. Purity control
3. Control of health conditions
4. Detection and control of nutrient parameters
5. Official regulations
6. Quality control

Juice production process:

The raw materials used for juice production can be fresh fruits or frozen preserved fruits. The maturity of the fruit plays a crucial role in the production process. Fruits that are not mature are not suitable for production because of their high acidity and low sugar concentration. Correspondingly, over-ripe fruits have a very rapid degradation of the aroma and are easily damaged by pathogens and are not suitable for production. During the production process, the pulp and juice extractor automatically separates the juice, seeds and peel from the fruit. In order to save transportation and storage costs, juices are usually concentrated and concentrated in two ways: 1 evaporative dehydration; 2 lyophilized. These juices can be regenerated by adding an appropriate amount of water after a period of time. In order to ensure the natural type and standard taste of the sugar in the juice, the method of adding the exogenous sugar is often adopted, but it is worth mentioning that the added sugar must be marked on the product label. Juice puree is usually pasteurized to reduce the activity of enzymes and microorganisms, and ascorbic acid is often added as an antioxidant.
 
Juice composition:

Obviously, water is a major component of juice (82-90% juice, 85-95% vegetable juice). Carbohydrates are also essential, such as sucrose, fructose and glucose (10-16% juice, 2-10% vegetable juice). In the stone fruit (eg apple and pear) there is also a large amount of sorbitol (0.5-3%). Acid plays an important role in determining the taste of the juice and the concentration of the balanced sugar. A sugar/acid ratio of 12:1 is a suitable ratio. Among the drupes, malic acid dominates, the berries contain citric acid, and the grapes contain a large amount of succinic acid. If the hygienic condition of the juice is poor, the microorganisms will metabolize and produce lactic acid, and the sugar in the fermented vegetable juice can be degraded into lactic acid. Fruit juices produced from properly stored raw materials should not contain volatile acids (formic acid and acetic acid) and ethanol. If such substances are present, it indicates that the juice has not reached the standard during the treatment process, or the equipment is not completely disinfected. The concentration of ascorbic acid can be degraded continuously during storage until 16% of the juice is not allowed to add preservatives, and the concentration of sulfur dioxide should not exceed 10mg/l. Although vegetable leaves and rhubarb are rich in nitrates, nitrates are very rare in juices and vegetable juices. The specific application of the additive is specified in EU 93/77/EEC.

Juice reliability

The means of adulteration of fruit juice is mainly to incorporate sugar and acid to achieve a composition similar to the authoritative product. The advantage of the enzymatic assay kit is the ability to quickly and specifically determine whether the content of the ingredients in the adulterated juice is a constant, since the content of the various ingredients in the natural product is constant and the ratio of the various ingredients is almost constant. Citric acid and D-isocitrate are the main organic acids in fruit juices (mainly orange juice). The ratio of citric acid/D-isocitric acid is usually <130, and the experimentally proved ratio is about 113. If the ratio is too high, it means Citric acid was added, too low means D-isocitrate was added. Malic acid is a natural component of fruit juices, mainly apple juice. Among the malic acid, L-malic acid accounts for the majority, while D-malic acid accounts for only a small part. Malic acid can be used as an additive in soft drinks, and malic acid is usually a racemic mixture of L-type and D-type enantiomers. When such a mixture is added as a component, it must be indicated in the product label. Orange juice contains glucose, fructose and sucrose, usually in a ratio of 1:2:2. Adding a certain amount of sucrose to the orange juice will dilute the orange juice, which will lead to an imbalance in the proportion of sugar.
