And Storage

Experiments have been made in the development of various new black-currant products, such as cloudy juice, juice concentrate and various freeze-dried preparations, along with a study of the effect of these different methods of preparation on the initial quality and storage properties. The quality was assessed from the stability of ascorbic acid and colour, the aroma number, and organoleptic evaluation. Storage lasted up to 8 months. It was established that the cloudiness exercised a slight protective effect on ascorbic acid. However, the instability of the cloud meant that the appearance of the cloudy juice was less attractive than that of the clear juice. No well-founded advantage of the cloudy juice could be demonstrated. Concentration proved less suitable, as there occurred harmful changes in ascorbic acid, colour and organoleptic properties. The freezing-drying method was excellent with respect to ascorbic acid and colour. In contrast, considerable losses in aroma occurred, with consequent weakening of the organoleptic properties. This method would be of advantage only in combination with aroma recovery, and solution of the financial problems involved. The results are discussed in the light of relevant literature.

Experimental Station

Field experiments were conducted at Zawady Experimental Station (UniversityofPodlasie) in 1999–2001 to test the effect of herbicides (Sencor 70 WG, Basagran 600 SL) and their mixtures (Sencor 70 WG with Fusilade Super, Basagran 600 SL with Focus Ultra) on the content of ascorbic acid and glycoalkaloids in tubers of three potato cultivars. The application of herbicides to potato fields caused an increase in the content of ascorbic acid in comparison with the control. The statistical analysis showed a significant effect of potato cultivars on ascorbic acid and glycoalkaloid concentrations.

Blue Honeysuckle

In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of processing methods and storage time on selected parameters of quality in the purees of blue honeysuckle berries. We investigated the content of bioactive compounds such as anthocyanins, L-ascorbic acid, and total polyphenols (TPs). We tested four processing methods and two varieties of blue honeysuckle berry (Lonicera caerulea L.var. Sineglaska and Volshebnica). The purees were analyzed immediately after production, and after two and four months of storage at 20 °C without exposure to light. According to our results, thermal treatment of the fruits for 5 min resulted in obtaining purees with a higher content of anthocyanins and TPs, but lower content of L-ascorbic acid. However, sieving fruits that were not thermally treated resulted in a higher content of L-ascorbic acid. Furthermore, purees prepared from the fruits of the Volshebnica cultivar were richer in bioactive compounds than that of purees prepared from the Sineglaska cultivar. In addition, the content of anthocyanins, L-ascorbic acid, and TPs decreased with storage time.
