HASAN ALI AL-JAMMAAS, Oday. Effect of apple peel extracts on storage quality of quince juice. Agron. colomb. [online]. 2023, vol.41, n.1, pp.1-.  Epub 01-Fev-2024. ISSN 0120-9965.  https://doi.org/10.15446/agron.colomb.v41n1.106570.

Enzymatic browning is one of the reactions influencing the quality of some fruit juices such as quince juice. Nowadays, there is an increased demand for application of antibrowning agents. This research was aimed at the effects of using each ethanolic and aqueous apple peel extracts (EAPE, AAPE) in two concentrations (0.3 and 3%) as inhibitor agents for polyphenol oxidase activity (PPO) of quince juice and their effects on the browning index (BI), total soluble solids (TSS), pH, total titratable acidity (TA), and total phenolic content (TPC) during storage at 4°C for 15 d. The effectiveness of 3% (w/v) alcoholic apple peel extract efficiently inactivated the activities of PPO compared with another three extracts during whole refrigerated storage time. The lowest inhibition percentage value of BI was found in 0.3% AAPE supplemented quince juices. EAPE and AAPE with concentrations of 3% had significantly larger pH values than that of EAPE and AAPE with concentration 0.3% and untreated quince juices at a final day of cold storage. TA values of juice samples untreated and treated with apple extracts did not show significant changes that ranged between 74-75 mg/100 ml at the beginning of storage and decreased with increased storage time, ranging between 0.68-0.72 mg/100 ml at the end of storage. The addition of apple peel extracts during the storage of quince juice had a positive effect on TSS values of the samples. Significantly larger TPC values (P<0.05) were obtained with 3% EAPE incorporated juice samples in comparison with other treatments.
