Abstract

Varied levels of mannitol at 0%, 3%, 6% and 9% were added to the commercial orange juice and physicochemical and sensory characteristics of the juice were investigated. Refractive index of control had $11.3^{\circ}Bx$ and the index was significantly increased to that of the $18.4^{\circ}Bx$ as the addition was increased to the 9% level(p<0.05). The values of pH and the acidity did not show significant differences among varied levels of mannitol added samples. However, sensory characteristics of aroma and sweet flavor were significantly increased as the addition levels were increased showing the values of aroma, from 7.5 to 11.3, and those of sweet flavor from 5.0 to 11.9, respectively (p<0.05). The 9% added level sample had significantly the lowest sour and astringent flavor values of 4.0 and 2.3, respectively.
