Turkey is one of the major citrus-producing countries of the northern Mediterranean region, with a suitable climate and other ecological conditions and was the fiſth largest world producer of mandarin (872,251 metric tons) in 2011 [1]. Citrus fruits and their derived products have a beneficial effect on human health. Citrus fruits are attractive because of their nutritional and antioxidant properties [25]; the prevention of diseases by nutrition is strongly supported [6], mainly due to the contribution of antioxidant compounds including vitamin C, phenolic compounds, and carotenoids [5].

Industrial processing involves a number of different stages that result in some alterations from the original composition of fresh citrus juice [7]. Pasteurisation is essential to improve the shelf- life and safety of fruit juice. Pectin methyl esterase (PME) is an enzyme of major impact in citrus juice. If PME is not inactivated enough, this enzyme is caused losses in the natural cloud quality of citrus juices. PME is more thermally resistant than vegetative spoilage microorganisms; therefore, the target of pasteurisation of citrus juice is PME [8]. e delicate fresh composition of citrus juices is easily changed by pasteurisation, as the juice undergoes various compositional changes. Pasteurisation has negative impacts on the quality of mandarin juice, such as the loss of colour, flavour, nutritional value, and, as a result, taste [9].

1 Introduction

Citrus has long been one of the largest world crops and itsjuice is one of the most appreciated by consumers One ofthe reasons for this is the high quality of their nutritionalcomposition Turkey is one of the major citrus-producingcountries of the northern Mediterranean region with asuitable climate and other ecological conditions and was thefifth largest world producer ofmandarin (872251metric tons)in 2011 [1]

Citrus fruits and their derived products have a beneficialeffect on human health Citrus fruits are attractive becauseof their nutritional and antioxidant properties [2ndash5] theprevention of diseases by nutrition is strongly supported [6]mainly due to the contribution of antioxidant compoundsincluding vitamin C phenolic compounds and carotenoids[5] Dhuique-Mayer et al [3] compared the influence ofvariety and species on the content of the main antioxidantmicroconstituents (flavonoids carotenoids and vitaminC) ofdifferent citrus fruits cultivated in the Mediterranean region

The production of single-strength citrus juice is increas-ingThe composition of fresh citrus juice is adversely affectedby industrial processing andor storage conditions Industrial

processing involves a number of different stages that result insome alterations from the original composition of fresh citrusjuice [7] Pasteurisation is essential to improve the shelf-life and safety of fruit juice Pectin methyl esterase (PME)is an enzyme of major impact in citrus juice If PME isnot inactivated enough this enzyme is caused losses in thenatural cloud quality of citrus juices PME is more thermallyresistant than vegetative spoilage microorganisms thereforethe target of pasteurisation of citrus juice is PME [8] Thedelicate fresh composition of citrus juices is easily changed bypasteurisation as the juice undergoes various compositionalchanges Pasteurisation has negative impacts on the quality ofmandarin juice such as the loss of colour flavour nutritionalvalue and as a result taste [9]

Some investigators [10ndash13] have monitored a gradualdecrease in certain aromas and an increase in undesirablecomponents during processing and storage However limitedreferences have been found for the effects of pasteurisationon the chemical composition of different mandarin cultivarjuices In order for processors to better understand thechanges that take place during the thermal processing ofmandarin juices quantitative information on the compo-nents present in both fresh and pasteurised mandarin juice is

and treatment time Xu et al [25] reported that the freefraction of phenolic increased whereas the ester glycosideand ester-bound fractions decreased after heat treatmentMoreover there was a decrease of total phenolic acid contentafter heat treatment and the content of four flavanone gly-cosides (narirutin naringin hesperidin and neohesperidin)declined with heating time and temperature

According to the results of mandarin juices it was foundthat these juices contain a high concentration of bioactivecompounds (ascorbic acid phenolic and carotenoid) andantioxidant activities were determined to be high (7825 plusmn040ndash8513 plusmn 038) as expected Data show that pasteurisa-tion treatment causes an increase in antioxidant activity withan increase of approximately 6 (119875 lt 005)

Xu et al [25] assumed that many antioxidant phe-nolic compounds in plants are usually presented as thecovalently-bound form therefore some processing methodswere employed to liberate them in order to enhance theirantioxidant capacity Jeong et al [26] reported that heattreatment may liberate some low molecular weight phenoliccompounds and increase the antioxidant capacity of citruspeel as a result Hayat et al [24] expressed that aftermicrowave treatment the free fraction of phenolic acidsincreased whereas the bound fractions decreased and antiox-idant activity was increased The increase in the antioxidantcapacities of citrus pomaces was due at least in part to theincreased phenolic content in the free fraction Free phenoliccompounds have been shown to have greater antioxidanteffects than bound forms [27]

Carotenoid Compounds of Mandarin Juices Carotenoid com-pounds of different mandarin juice samples are given inTable 3Themost abundant carotenoid compoundwas foundto be 120573-cryptoxanthin in all samples this compound washigher than others in the Satsuma samples (119875 lt 005) Afterpasteurisation treatments differences between samples werenot found to be important for 120573-cryptoxanthin 120572-caroteneand 120573-carotene but were important for zeaxanthin and lutein(119875 lt 005)

Dhuique-Mayer et al [28] reported that the main provi-tamin A carotenoids were not significantly affected duringconventional thermal processing of citrus juice These resultsagree with previously reported studies [29ndash32] In thesestudies losses of 120573-carotene or 120573-cryptoxanthin were verylow during pasteurisation or the thermal concentration ofdifferent citrus juices Sanchez-Moreno et al [33] reported

that cases of thermal treated orange juice (90∘C for 1min) ledto an increase in 120573-cryptoxanthin (1919) and zeaxanthin(3749) and to a decrease in lutein (2310) whereas nochanges were found in the extraction of 120573-cryptoxanthin orhydrocarbon carotenoids

Phenolic Compounds of Mandarin Juices Phenolic com-pounds of different mandarin juice samples are given inTable 3 As can be seen nine phenolic acids (gallic acidvanillic acid chlorojenic acid caffeic acid protocatechuicacid ethyl ester (PAEE) p-cumaric acid syringic acid sinapicacidand o-cumaric acid) were detected in themandarin juicesamples Ferrulic acid was not detected in any of the samplesThe most abundant phenolic acid was determined as PAEE(418mgL) in the Robinson variety and chlorogenic acid inFremont (532mgL) and Satsuma (789mgL) varieties Inaddition six flavonoids (hesperidin neohesperidin narin-genin isoquercetin luteolin and kamferol) were detectedin mandarin juices but eriocitrin neoeriocitrin naringinquercetin and apijenin were not detected in all mandarinvarieties Also rutin was detected only for the Satsumavariety Our results indicate that themost abundant flavanoneglycoside identified in mandarin juice was hesperidin buthesperidin concentrations were detected for R (20845mgL)F (22623mgL) and S (28295mgL) Naringin hesperidinand neohesperidin are flavanone glycosides that are knownto accumulate specifically in citrus species They have dif-ferent sugar moieties which influence taste naringin andneohesperidin are neohesperidosides with a bitter taste dueto the sugar neohesperidose while the sugar rutinose causeshesperidin to have a neutral taste [34 35]

Hesperidin concentrations of fresh mandarin juices weredecreased dramatically after pasteurisation treatments (119875 lt005) The amount of this compound was decreased forRobinson 3933 Fremont 3379 and Satsuma 2305after pasteurisation treatments Conversely Dhuique-Mayeret al [28] reported that hesperidin concentration was notsignificantly decreased during thermal treatments (losseslt2 at 90∘C after 240min) in orange juice The same resultswere in agreement with those of Sanchez-Moreno et al [33]who stated that pasteurisation did not modify hesperidincontent In our samples hesperidin was decreased followingpasteurisation of mandarin juices

needed Such information will provide a list of varieties thatare more appropriate for the production of juice

The main objective of this study was to compare thechemical composition of three mandarin cultivars (Robin-son Fremont and Satsuma) that are currently grown inTurkey and to determine the chemical changes that occur asa result of pasteurisation

2 Materials and Methods

21 Juice Processing Robinson (R) (Citrus reticulata hybridof Clementine times Orlando) Fremont (F) (Citrus reticulatahybrid of Clementine times Ponkan) and Satsuma (S) (Citrusunshiu) mandarin varieties grown in the Cukurova Regionof Turkey were used in this study After being washed man-darins were cut into two halves and pressed using a bench-scale automatic squeezing machine (CANCAN Turkey)Mandarin juices were passed through 1mm stainless steelsieves to remove seeds and coarse pulp Juicewas immediatelyprocessed by heat pasteurisation The study was carried outwith three replications

22 Heat Pasteurisation The bench-scale system designed inthe Department of Food Engineering of Cukurova University(Adana Turkey) was used for heat pasteurisation applications[14] As a result of the preliminary experiments heat wasapplied at 95∘C for 15 s for pasteurisation Heat-pasteurisedsamples were placed in amber coloured bottles for furtheranalyses Pasteurised samples were called Robinson (RP)Fremont (FP) and Satsuma (SP) in future analyses

23 General Properties of Mandarin Juices Total acidity anddry matter of juice samples were carried out according toAOAC [15] Brix and pH of mandarin juices were analysedwith an Abbe refractometer (Carl Zeiss Jena Germany) andWTW pH-meter (Weilheim Germany) respectively

24 Colour Measurement Colour (CIE 119871lowast 119886lowast 119887lowast) analysiswas conducted by the Colour Flex HunterLab instrument50mL of juice was transferred to the 20mm Glass OpticalCell Light Path and analysed The results were given accord-ing to the CIELAB colour system In this system 119871lowast defineslightness (0 black 100 white) 119886lowast denotes the redgreen value((+) red (minus) green) and 119887lowast denotes the yellowblue value((+) yellow (minus) blue) In addition the following formulaswere used for the calculations of Huelowast 119862lowast and Δ119864lowast colourvalues

25 Determination of Browning Index 5mL of each varietyof mandarin juice was mixed with 5mL ethyl alcohol (95)in teflon tubes and then centrifuged (4000 rpm 10min at

4∘C) The supernatant was passed through a 045 120583m teflonmembrane filter and the absorbance of the supernatant wasobtained at 420 nm in a spectrophotometer (Perkin ElmerLambda 25-UVVIS USA) [16]

26 Determination of Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) HMFextractions of samples were carried out according to themethod reported by Gokmen and Acar [17] The bestchromatographic conditions were determined as a result ofpreliminary experiments as follows 20120583L of supernatantwas injected into the C18 ACE (46 times 250mm) columnthe column was maintained at 30∘C with a flow rate of05mLmin and the photodiode array detector was set at285 nmMethanolwateracetic acid (20791 vvv) was usedas mobile phases

27 Antioxidant Activity The antioxidant activity of themandarin juices was evaluated using the DPPHlowast free radical-scavenging method The DPPHlowast free radical-scavengingactivity measurements were carried out according to the pro-cedure of Klimczak et al [18] with some modifications 5mLof mandarin juices was mixed with 5mL of methyl alcohol(80) in teflon tubes and then centrifuged (4000 rpm 10minat 4∘C) Briefly 01mL of supernatant was added to 246mLof11-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPHlowast 0025 gLminus1 in80 methyl alcohol) and mixed by vortex After incubationfor 10min in the dark the absorbance of the sampleswas measured at 515 nm using the spectrophotometer Theantioxidant activity was expressed as the percentage declineof the absorbance as follows

Antioxidant activity () = (119860control minus 119860 sample

119860control) times 100

and treatment time Xu et al [25] reported that the freefraction of phenolic increased whereas the ester glycosideand ester-bound fractions decreased after heat treatmentMoreover there was a decrease of total phenolic acid contentafter heat treatment and the content of four flavanone gly-cosides (narirutin naringin hesperidin and neohesperidin)declined with heating time and temperature

According to the results of mandarin juices it was foundthat these juices contain a high concentration of bioactivecompounds (ascorbic acid phenolic and carotenoid) andantioxidant activities were determined to be high (7825 plusmn040ndash8513 plusmn 038) as expected Data show that pasteurisa-tion treatment causes an increase in antioxidant activity withan increase of approximately 6 (119875 lt 005)

Xu et al [25] assumed that many antioxidant phe-nolic compounds in plants are usually presented as thecovalently-bound form therefore some processing methodswere employed to liberate them in order to enhance theirantioxidant capacity Jeong et al [26] reported that heattreatment may liberate some low molecular weight phenoliccompounds and increase the antioxidant capacity of citruspeel as a result Hayat et al [24] expressed that aftermicrowave treatment the free fraction of phenolic acidsincreased whereas the bound fractions decreased and antiox-idant activity was increased The increase in the antioxidantcapacities of citrus pomaces was due at least in part to theincreased phenolic content in the free fraction Free phenoliccompounds have been shown to have greater antioxidanteffects than bound forms [27]

Carotenoid Compounds of Mandarin Juices Carotenoid com-pounds of different mandarin juice samples are given inTable 3Themost abundant carotenoid compoundwas foundto be 120573-cryptoxanthin in all samples this compound washigher than others in the Satsuma samples (119875 lt 005) Afterpasteurisation treatments differences between samples werenot found to be important for 120573-cryptoxanthin 120572-caroteneand 120573-carotene but were important for zeaxanthin and lutein(119875 lt 005)

Dhuique-Mayer et al [28] reported that the main provi-tamin A carotenoids were not significantly affected duringconventional thermal processing of citrus juice These resultsagree with previously reported studies [29ndash32] In thesestudies losses of 120573-carotene or 120573-cryptoxanthin were verylow during pasteurisation or the thermal concentration ofdifferent citrus juices Sanchez-Moreno et al [33] reported

that cases of thermal treated orange juice (90∘C for 1min) ledto an increase in 120573-cryptoxanthin (1919) and zeaxanthin(3749) and to a decrease in lutein (2310) whereas nochanges were found in the extraction of 120573-cryptoxanthin orhydrocarbon carotenoids

Phenolic Compounds of Mandarin Juices Phenolic com-pounds of different mandarin juice samples are given inTable 3 As can be seen nine phenolic acids (gallic acidvanillic acid chlorojenic acid caffeic acid protocatechuicacid ethyl ester (PAEE) p-cumaric acid syringic acid sinapicacidand o-cumaric acid) were detected in themandarin juicesamples Ferrulic acid was not detected in any of the samplesThe most abundant phenolic acid was determined as PAEE(418mgL) in the Robinson variety and chlorogenic acid inFremont (532mgL) and Satsuma (789mgL) varieties Inaddition six flavonoids (hesperidin neohesperidin narin-genin isoquercetin luteolin and kamferol) were detectedin mandarin juices but eriocitrin neoeriocitrin naringinquercetin and apijenin were not detected in all mandarinvarieties Also rutin was detected only for the Satsumavariety Our results indicate that themost abundant flavanoneglycoside identified in mandarin juice was hesperidin buthesperidin concentrations were detected for R (20845mgL)F (22623mgL) and S (28295mgL) Naringin hesperidinand neohesperidin are flavanone glycosides that are knownto accumulate specifically in citrus species They have dif-ferent sugar moieties which influence taste naringin andneohesperidin are neohesperidosides with a bitter taste dueto the sugar neohesperidose while the sugar rutinose causeshesperidin to have a neutral taste [34 35]

Hesperidin concentrations of fresh mandarin juices weredecreased dramatically after pasteurisation treatments (119875 lt005) The amount of this compound was decreased forRobinson 3933 Fremont 3379 and Satsuma 2305after pasteurisation treatments Conversely Dhuique-Mayeret al [28] reported that hesperidin concentration was notsignificantly decreased during thermal treatments (losseslt2 at 90∘C after 240min) in orange juice The same resultswere in agreement with those of Sanchez-Moreno et al [33]who stated that pasteurisation did not modify hesperidincontent In our samples hesperidin was decreased followingpasteurisation of mandarin juices

and treatment time Xu et al [25] reported that the freefraction of phenolic increased whereas the ester glycosideand ester-bound fractions decreased after heat treatmentMoreover there was a decrease of total phenolic acid contentafter heat treatment and the content of four flavanone gly-cosides (narirutin naringin hesperidin and neohesperidin)declined with heating time and temperature

According to the results of mandarin juices it was foundthat these juices contain a high concentration of bioactivecompounds (ascorbic acid phenolic and carotenoid) andantioxidant activities were determined to be high (7825 plusmn040ndash8513 plusmn 038) as expected Data show that pasteurisa-tion treatment causes an increase in antioxidant activity withan increase of approximately 6 (119875 lt 005)

Xu et al [25] assumed that many antioxidant phe-nolic compounds in plants are usually presented as thecovalently-bound form therefore some processing methodswere employed to liberate them in order to enhance theirantioxidant capacity Jeong et al [26] reported that heattreatment may liberate some low molecular weight phenoliccompounds and increase the antioxidant capacity of citruspeel as a result Hayat et al [24] expressed that aftermicrowave treatment the free fraction of phenolic acidsincreased whereas the bound fractions decreased and antiox-idant activity was increased The increase in the antioxidantcapacities of citrus pomaces was due at least in part to theincreased phenolic content in the free fraction Free phenoliccompounds have been shown to have greater antioxidanteffects than bound forms [27]

Carotenoid Compounds of Mandarin Juices Carotenoid com-pounds of different mandarin juice samples are given inTable 3Themost abundant carotenoid compoundwas foundto be 120573-cryptoxanthin in all samples this compound washigher than others in the Satsuma samples (119875 lt 005) Afterpasteurisation treatments differences between samples werenot found to be important for 120573-cryptoxanthin 120572-caroteneand 120573-carotene but were important for zeaxanthin and lutein(119875 lt 005)

Dhuique-Mayer et al [28] reported that the main provi-tamin A carotenoids were not significantly affected duringconventional thermal processing of citrus juice These resultsagree with previously reported studies [29ndash32] In thesestudies losses of 120573-carotene or 120573-cryptoxanthin were verylow during pasteurisation or the thermal concentration ofdifferent citrus juices Sanchez-Moreno et al [33] reported

that cases of thermal treated orange juice (90∘C for 1min) ledto an increase in 120573-cryptoxanthin (1919) and zeaxanthin(3749) and to a decrease in lutein (2310) whereas nochanges were found in the extraction of 120573-cryptoxanthin orhydrocarbon carotenoids

Phenolic Compounds of Mandarin Juices Phenolic com-pounds of different mandarin juice samples are given inTable 3 As can be seen nine phenolic acids (gallic acidvanillic acid chlorojenic acid caffeic acid protocatechuicacid ethyl ester (PAEE) p-cumaric acid syringic acid sinapicacidand o-cumaric acid) were detected in themandarin juicesamples Ferrulic acid was not detected in any of the samplesThe most abundant phenolic acid was determined as PAEE(418mgL) in the Robinson variety and chlorogenic acid inFremont (532mgL) and Satsuma (789mgL) varieties Inaddition six flavonoids (hesperidin neohesperidin narin-genin isoquercetin luteolin and kamferol) were detectedin mandarin juices but eriocitrin neoeriocitrin naringinquercetin and apijenin were not detected in all mandarinvarieties Also rutin was detected only for the Satsumavariety Our results indicate that themost abundant flavanoneglycoside identified in mandarin juice was hesperidin buthesperidin concentrations were detected for R (20845mgL)F (22623mgL) and S (28295mgL) Naringin hesperidinand neohesperidin are flavanone glycosides that are knownto accumulate specifically in citrus species They have dif-ferent sugar moieties which influence taste naringin andneohesperidin are neohesperidosides with a bitter taste dueto the sugar neohesperidose while the sugar rutinose causeshesperidin to have a neutral taste [34 35]

Hesperidin concentrations of fresh mandarin juices weredecreased dramatically after pasteurisation treatments (119875 lt005) The amount of this compound was decreased forRobinson 3933 Fremont 3379 and Satsuma 2305after pasteurisation treatments Conversely Dhuique-Mayeret al [28] reported that hesperidin concentration was notsignificantly decreased during thermal treatments (losseslt2 at 90∘C after 240min) in orange juice The same resultswere in agreement with those of Sanchez-Moreno et al [33]who stated that pasteurisation did not modify hesperidincontent In our samples hesperidin was decreased followingpasteurisation of mandarin juices

turbidity properties of juice samples ranged between 867ndash894 and 839ndash895 respectively After pasteurisation treat-ment the colour of samples scored higher than fresh samplesbut differences between juice samples were not importantfor colour Also there was no difference between turbidityproperties of samples The best scores for taste and smellwere obtained from fresh juices but the highest scores (737and 595) after pasteurisation treatment were found for theRP sample The general impression is a sensory propertywhich describes the appreciation of a product thereforethis property is very important for food producers Thegeneral impression of fresh mandarin juices scored between834ndash899 After pasteurisation this value was significantlydecreased (119875 lt 005) The general impression of RP FP andSP samples scored 778 658 and 528 respectively As a resultthe most well-liked fresh and pasteurised juice samples werefrom the Robinson variety of mandarin

and treatment time Xu et al [25] reported that the freefraction of phenolic increased whereas the ester glycosideand ester-bound fractions decreased after heat treatmentMoreover there was a decrease of total phenolic acid contentafter heat treatment and the content of four flavanone gly-cosides (narirutin naringin hesperidin and neohesperidin)declined with heating time and temperature

According to the results of mandarin juices it was foundthat these juices contain a high concentration of bioactivecompounds (ascorbic acid phenolic and carotenoid) andantioxidant activities were determined to be high (7825 plusmn040ndash8513 plusmn 038) as expected Data show that pasteurisa-tion treatment causes an increase in antioxidant activity withan increase of approximately 6 (119875 lt 005)

Xu et al [25] assumed that many antioxidant phe-nolic compounds in plants are usually presented as thecovalently-bound form therefore some processing methodswere employed to liberate them in order to enhance theirantioxidant capacity Jeong et al [26] reported that heattreatment may liberate some low molecular weight phenoliccompounds and increase the antioxidant capacity of citruspeel as a result Hayat et al [24] expressed that aftermicrowave treatment the free fraction of phenolic acidsincreased whereas the bound fractions decreased and antiox-idant activity was increased The increase in the antioxidantcapacities of citrus pomaces was due at least in part to theincreased phenolic content in the free fraction Free phenoliccompounds have been shown to have greater antioxidanteffects than bound forms [27]

Carotenoid Compounds of Mandarin Juices Carotenoid com-pounds of different mandarin juice samples are given inTable 3Themost abundant carotenoid compoundwas foundto be 120573-cryptoxanthin in all samples this compound washigher than others in the Satsuma samples (119875 lt 005) Afterpasteurisation treatments differences between samples werenot found to be important for 120573-cryptoxanthin 120572-caroteneand 120573-carotene but were important for zeaxanthin and lutein(119875 lt 005)

Dhuique-Mayer et al [28] reported that the main provi-tamin A carotenoids were not significantly affected duringconventional thermal processing of citrus juice These resultsagree with previously reported studies [29ndash32] In thesestudies losses of 120573-carotene or 120573-cryptoxanthin were verylow during pasteurisation or the thermal concentration ofdifferent citrus juices Sanchez-Moreno et al [33] reported

that cases of thermal treated orange juice (90∘C for 1min) ledto an increase in 120573-cryptoxanthin (1919) and zeaxanthin(3749) and to a decrease in lutein (2310) whereas nochanges were found in the extraction of 120573-cryptoxanthin orhydrocarbon carotenoids

Phenolic Compounds of Mandarin Juices Phenolic com-pounds of different mandarin juice samples are given inTable 3 As can be seen nine phenolic acids (gallic acidvanillic acid chlorojenic acid caffeic acid protocatechuicacid ethyl ester (PAEE) p-cumaric acid syringic acid sinapicacidand o-cumaric acid) were detected in themandarin juicesamples Ferrulic acid was not detected in any of the samplesThe most abundant phenolic acid was determined as PAEE(418mgL) in the Robinson variety and chlorogenic acid inFremont (532mgL) and Satsuma (789mgL) varieties Inaddition six flavonoids (hesperidin neohesperidin narin-genin isoquercetin luteolin and kamferol) were detectedin mandarin juices but eriocitrin neoeriocitrin naringinquercetin and apijenin were not detected in all mandarinvarieties Also rutin was detected only for the Satsumavariety Our results indicate that themost abundant flavanoneglycoside identified in mandarin juice was hesperidin buthesperidin concentrations were detected for R (20845mgL)F (22623mgL) and S (28295mgL) Naringin hesperidinand neohesperidin are flavanone glycosides that are knownto accumulate specifically in citrus species They have dif-ferent sugar moieties which influence taste naringin andneohesperidin are neohesperidosides with a bitter taste dueto the sugar neohesperidose while the sugar rutinose causeshesperidin to have a neutral taste [34 35]

Hesperidin concentrations of fresh mandarin juices weredecreased dramatically after pasteurisation treatments (119875 lt005) The amount of this compound was decreased forRobinson 3933 Fremont 3379 and Satsuma 2305after pasteurisation treatments Conversely Dhuique-Mayeret al [28] reported that hesperidin concentration was notsignificantly decreased during thermal treatments (losseslt2 at 90∘C after 240min) in orange juice The same resultswere in agreement with those of Sanchez-Moreno et al [33]who stated that pasteurisation did not modify hesperidincontent In our samples hesperidin was decreased followingpasteurisation of mandarin juices

and treatment time Xu et al [25] reported that the freefraction of phenolic increased whereas the ester glycosideand ester-bound fractions decreased after heat treatmentMoreover there was a decrease of total phenolic acid contentafter heat treatment and the content of four flavanone gly-cosides (narirutin naringin hesperidin and neohesperidin)declined with heating time and temperature

According to the results of mandarin juices it was foundthat these juices contain a high concentration of bioactivecompounds (ascorbic acid phenolic and carotenoid) andantioxidant activities were determined to be high (7825 plusmn040ndash8513 plusmn 038) as expected Data show that pasteurisa-tion treatment causes an increase in antioxidant activity withan increase of approximately 6 (119875 lt 005)

Xu et al [25] assumed that many antioxidant phe-nolic compounds in plants are usually presented as thecovalently-bound form therefore some processing methodswere employed to liberate them in order to enhance theirantioxidant capacity Jeong et al [26] reported that heattreatment may liberate some low molecular weight phenoliccompounds and increase the antioxidant capacity of citruspeel as a result Hayat et al [24] expressed that aftermicrowave treatment the free fraction of phenolic acidsincreased whereas the bound fractions decreased and antiox-idant activity was increased The increase in the antioxidantcapacities of citrus pomaces was due at least in part to theincreased phenolic content in the free fraction Free phenoliccompounds have been shown to have greater antioxidanteffects than bound forms [27]

Carotenoid Compounds of Mandarin Juices Carotenoid com-pounds of different mandarin juice samples are given inTable 3Themost abundant carotenoid compoundwas foundto be 120573-cryptoxanthin in all samples this compound washigher than others in the Satsuma samples (119875 lt 005) Afterpasteurisation treatments differences between samples werenot found to be important for 120573-cryptoxanthin 120572-caroteneand 120573-carotene but were important for zeaxanthin and lutein(119875 lt 005)

Dhuique-Mayer et al [28] reported that the main provi-tamin A carotenoids were not significantly affected duringconventional thermal processing of citrus juice These resultsagree with previously reported studies [29ndash32] In thesestudies losses of 120573-carotene or 120573-cryptoxanthin were verylow during pasteurisation or the thermal concentration ofdifferent citrus juices Sanchez-Moreno et al [33] reported

that cases of thermal treated orange juice (90∘C for 1min) ledto an increase in 120573-cryptoxanthin (1919) and zeaxanthin(3749) and to a decrease in lutein (2310) whereas nochanges were found in the extraction of 120573-cryptoxanthin orhydrocarbon carotenoids

Phenolic Compounds of Mandarin Juices Phenolic com-pounds of different mandarin juice samples are given inTable 3 As can be seen nine phenolic acids (gallic acidvanillic acid chlorojenic acid caffeic acid protocatechuicacid ethyl ester (PAEE) p-cumaric acid syringic acid sinapicacidand o-cumaric acid) were detected in themandarin juicesamples Ferrulic acid was not detected in any of the samplesThe most abundant phenolic acid was determined as PAEE(418mgL) in the Robinson variety and chlorogenic acid inFremont (532mgL) and Satsuma (789mgL) varieties Inaddition six flavonoids (hesperidin neohesperidin narin-genin isoquercetin luteolin and kamferol) were detectedin mandarin juices but eriocitrin neoeriocitrin naringinquercetin and apijenin were not detected in all mandarinvarieties Also rutin was detected only for the Satsumavariety Our results indicate that themost abundant flavanoneglycoside identified in mandarin juice was hesperidin buthesperidin concentrations were detected for R (20845mgL)F (22623mgL) and S (28295mgL) Naringin hesperidinand neohesperidin are flavanone glycosides that are knownto accumulate specifically in citrus species They have dif-ferent sugar moieties which influence taste naringin andneohesperidin are neohesperidosides with a bitter taste dueto the sugar neohesperidose while the sugar rutinose causeshesperidin to have a neutral taste [34 35]

Hesperidin concentrations of fresh mandarin juices weredecreased dramatically after pasteurisation treatments (119875 lt005) The amount of this compound was decreased forRobinson 3933 Fremont 3379 and Satsuma 2305after pasteurisation treatments Conversely Dhuique-Mayeret al [28] reported that hesperidin concentration was notsignificantly decreased during thermal treatments (losseslt2 at 90∘C after 240min) in orange juice The same resultswere in agreement with those of Sanchez-Moreno et al [33]who stated that pasteurisation did not modify hesperidincontent In our samples hesperidin was decreased followingpasteurisation of mandarin juices

Xu et al [25] assumed that many antioxidant phe-nolic compounds in plants are usually presented as thecovalently-bound form therefore some processing methodswere employed to liberate them in order to enhance theirantioxidant capacity Jeong et al [26] reported that heattreatment may liberate some low molecular weight phenoliccompounds and increase the antioxidant capacity of citruspeel as a result Hayat et al [24] expressed that aftermicrowave treatment the free fraction of phenolic acidsincreased whereas the bound fractions decreased and antiox-idant activity was increased The increase in the antioxidantcapacities of citrus pomaces was due at least in part to theincreased phenolic content in the free fraction Free phenoliccompounds have been shown to have greater antioxidanteffects than bound forms [27]

Carotenoid Compounds of Mandarin Juices Carotenoid com-pounds of different mandarin juice samples are given inTable 3Themost abundant carotenoid compoundwas foundto be 120573-cryptoxanthin in all samples this compound washigher than others in the Satsuma samples (119875 lt 005) Afterpasteurisation treatments differences between samples werenot found to be important for 120573-cryptoxanthin 120572-caroteneand 120573-carotene but were important for zeaxanthin and lutein(119875 lt 005)

Dhuique-Mayer et al [28] reported that the main provi-tamin A carotenoids were not significantly affected duringconventional thermal processing of citrus juice These resultsagree with previously reported studies [29ndash32] In thesestudies losses of 120573-carotene or 120573-cryptoxanthin were verylow during pasteurisation or the thermal concentration ofdifferent citrus juices Sanchez-Moreno et al [33] reported

that cases of thermal treated orange juice (90∘C for 1min) ledto an increase in 120573-cryptoxanthin (1919) and zeaxanthin(3749) and to a decrease in lutein (2310) whereas nochanges were found in the extraction of 120573-cryptoxanthin orhydrocarbon carotenoids

Phenolic Compounds of Mandarin Juices Phenolic com-pounds of different mandarin juice samples are given inTable 3 As can be seen nine phenolic acids (gallic acidvanillic acid chlorojenic acid caffeic acid protocatechuicacid ethyl ester (PAEE) p-cumaric acid syringic acid sinapicacidand o-cumaric acid) were detected in themandarin juicesamples Ferrulic acid was not detected in any of the samplesThe most abundant phenolic acid was determined as PAEE(418mgL) in the Robinson variety and chlorogenic acid inFremont (532mgL) and Satsuma (789mgL) varieties Inaddition six flavonoids (hesperidin neohesperidin narin-genin isoquercetin luteolin and kamferol) were detectedin mandarin juices but eriocitrin neoeriocitrin naringinquercetin and apijenin were not detected in all mandarinvarieties Also rutin was detected only for the Satsumavariety Our results indicate that themost abundant flavanoneglycoside identified in mandarin juice was hesperidin buthesperidin concentrations were detected for R (20845mgL)F (22623mgL) and S (28295mgL) Naringin hesperidinand neohesperidin are flavanone glycosides that are knownto accumulate specifically in citrus species They have dif-ferent sugar moieties which influence taste naringin andneohesperidin are neohesperidosides with a bitter taste dueto the sugar neohesperidose while the sugar rutinose causeshesperidin to have a neutral taste [34 35]

Hesperidin concentrations of fresh mandarin juices weredecreased dramatically after pasteurisation treatments (119875 lt005) The amount of this compound was decreased forRobinson 3933 Fremont 3379 and Satsuma 2305after pasteurisation treatments Conversely Dhuique-Mayeret al [28] reported that hesperidin concentration was notsignificantly decreased during thermal treatments (losseslt2 at 90∘C after 240min) in orange juice The same resultswere in agreement with those of Sanchez-Moreno et al [33]who stated that pasteurisation did not modify hesperidincontent In our samples hesperidin was decreased followingpasteurisation of mandarin juices

34 Sensory Properties of Mandarin Juices Sensory prop-erties of mandarin juices are given in Table 4 Colour and

turbidity properties of juice samples ranged between 867ndash894 and 839ndash895 respectively After pasteurisation treat-ment the colour of samples scored higher than fresh samplesbut differences between juice samples were not importantfor colour Also there was no difference between turbidityproperties of samples The best scores for taste and smellwere obtained from fresh juices but the highest scores (737and 595) after pasteurisation treatment were found for theRP sample The general impression is a sensory propertywhich describes the appreciation of a product thereforethis property is very important for food producers Thegeneral impression of fresh mandarin juices scored between834ndash899 After pasteurisation this value was significantlydecreased (119875 lt 005) The general impression of RP FP andSP samples scored 778 658 and 528 respectively As a resultthe most well-liked fresh and pasteurised juice samples werefrom the Robinson variety of mandarin

4 Conclusions

After the pasteurisation process 119871lowast 119886lowast 119887lowast and 119862lowast valuesof all varieties were increased The Huelowast value of Fremont(F) was increased but was decreased for Robinson (R) andSatsuma (S)The highestΔ119864lowast value of samples was calculatedfor the Fremont variety Ascorbic acid concentration wasdetermined to be highest for the Robinson variety and degra-dation was calculated as 220 1686 and 2431 for samplesof R F and S respectively after pasteurisation The highesttotal carotenoid and phenolic contents were determined inS samples In general after the pasteurisation treatmentthe total carotenoid content of juices was slightly increasedbut total phenolic contents were dramatically decreasedPasteurisation treatment caused an increase in antioxidantactivity The most abundant carotenoid compound was 120573-cryptoxanthin in all samples nine phenolic acids and sixflavonoids were detected in the mandarin juice samplesHesperidin was detected at the highest concentration in allmandarin juices but the hesperidin concentration of sampleswas decreased after the pasteurisation treatment In sensoryevaluation colours of pasteurised samples scored higher thanfresh samplesThemost well-liked fresh and pasteurised juicesamples were those of the Robinson variety of mandarinwith regard to taste smell and general impression As aresult these varieties of mandarin are suitable for the fruitjuice processing industry and have rich bioactive componentswhich are important for human health Also by blendingmandarin juices richer bioactive contents and products withhigh consumer appreciation will be obtained
