The optimum formula of mangosteen juice could
be developed by adding sucrose to obtain 18o
Brix of
sweetness and 0.2% mangosteen pericarp to enhance
color. Although there were some changes in color and
some chemical qualities such as the loss of ascorbic
acid, anthocyanin and total phenolic compounds
leading to the decreased antioxidant capacity, the
microbial safety of the pasteurized mangosteen juice
was still acceptable during the storage at 4o
C for 5
weeks.
