product and ascorbic acid content of 9.28 mg per 100 g of dry product. As can be seen, conventional pasteurization slightly
decreased ascorbic acid and vitamin C levels of the samples, with degradation values ranging from 2.87 to 3.70%. The most diluted sample showed the highest degradation: 3.6% for ascorbic acid and 3.70% for vitamin C. Table 6 also shows the percentage of AA and DHA relative to the total content of vitamin C. Both, NP and P samples, showed similar percentages of AA and DHA.
