Purpose: In this study, we aimed to minimize quality degradation of concentrated blueberry puree by thermal treatment at $90^{\circ}C$ for 5 min, with citric acid (CA) and acidic sodium metaphosphate (ASM) as pH modifiers. Methods: The color values, redness a, anthocyanin contents, DPPH radical scavenging, elastase inhibition and tyrosinase inhibition activities were evaluated for quality parameters of concentrated blueberry puree. Results: The highest values of color value, redness a, anthocyanin contents, DPPH radical scavenging, elastase inhibition and tyrosinase inhibition activities were 1% CA+0.5% ASM followed by 1% CA and control. The quality parameters of concentrated blueberry puree were significantly different between control and 1% CA+0.5% ASM treatment (p<0.05). Conclusion: During thermal treatment, quality degradation of concentrated blueberry puree was reduced by 1% CA+0.5% ASM treatment, which is expected for new acidulants.

This study was performed to minimize quality degradation of concentrated strawberry puree after $90^{\circ}C$ for 5 min by heat treatment with citric acid (CA) and acidic sodium metaphosphate (ASM) as pH modifiers. The highest color value was 1% CA+1% ASM (13.027), followed by 1% CA (9.539) and control (6.905). Anthocyanin contents were also 1% CA+1% ASM (3.049 mg/100 g), 1% CA (1.140 mg/100 g), and control (0.757 mg/100 g) in sequence. The DPPH radical scavenging activities of control, 1% CA, and 1% CA+1% ASM were 58.148, 72.638, and 83.736%, respectively. The color values, anthocyanin contents, and DPPH radical scavenging activities were significantly different at P<0.05 between control and 1% CA+1% ASM treatment. For the results of overall preference for hedonic test, there was no significant difference at P>0.05 among the three samples. During heat treatment, quality degradation of concentrated strawberry puree was reduced by 1% CA+1% ASM treatment, which is expected for new acidulants.

This study was conducted to minimize the quality degradation of concentrated blueberry juice after $90^{\circ}C$ treatment for 5 min by means of citric acid (CA) and acidic sodium metaphosphate (ASM) as pH modifiers. The highest anthocyanin content was observed at 1% CA+1% ASM (65.747 mg per 100 g) followed by 1% CA (46.022 mg per 100 g) and control (30.864 mg per 100 g). The DPPH radical scavenging activities of 1% CA+1% ASM, 1% CA and control were 87.338, 75.486 and 67.983% in respectively. The elastase inhibitory activity at 1% CA+1% ASM, 1% CA and in the control was 87.338, 75.486 and 67.983%, and the tyrosinase inhibitory of these samples were 77.891, 67.598 and 26.375%, respectively. Anthocyanin contents, DPPH radical scavenging, elastase inhibitory and tyrosinase inhibitory activities were significantly different (p<0.05) between the 1% CA+1% ASM treatment and control. During the heat treatment, quality degradation of concentrated blueberry juice was reduced by the 1% CA+1% ASM treatment, as expected for new acidulants.
