Abstract

The juice was evaluated regarding yield, turbidity, physicochemical characteristics and acceptability. In order to check the acceptability, three samples were prepared by adding sucrose until reaching 12, 14 and 16°Brix, respectively, once this is the characteristic range of commercial samples for ready-made juices. The use of enzymes increased the juice yield, which showed a good retention of bioactive compounds. The sample with the highest overall acceptance was that of 14°Brix with a overall average of eight, corresponding to the expression `I liked it very much´, suggesting a high market potential.
