Apple pomace, (AP) was subjected to evaluation as potential source of clouding and antiradical agent in
cloudy apple juice (CAJ). The evaluation was carried out in comparison with three hydrocolloids, namely
sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), xanthan (XA), and pectin (P). The quality parameters of cloudy
apple juice such as cloud stability, viscosity, phenolic content, sensory evaluation and antioxidant activity
had been studied since these parameters control the consumer acceptance of that product. All the
analyses were carried out for fresh and treated juices after storage at 4 and 25 C for two weeks. The
cloud stability of juices added decreased quickly and remained more stable than the untreated treatment.
However, the hydrocolloids showed significant (P < 0.05) increase in viscosity, they exhibited deterioration in sensory attributes. The results indicated a good correlation between phenolic degradation and
the radical scavenging activities.
