Oppositely, the loss rates of
ascorbic acid in cloudy juices and clear juice were nearly identical
after 6 months at 25 °C. More oxygen absorbed by the pulps in the
cloudy juice could accelerate the degradation of the ascorbic acid at
high storage temperatures. More than 50% loss of the ascorbic acid
in cloudy and clear juices at 25 °C occurred in the first two months,
and the degradation kinetics of the ascorbic acid in both juices was
characterized with a fast-to-slow profile (Fig. 1).
