Table 1 also revealed that the carotenoid losses were not compensated
by the formation of non-volatile thermal degradation compounds,
since the concentration of total carotenoids in the unheated cashew
apple juicemodel decreased from107 to 78.9 μg/mL after 2 h of heating
at 90 °C. Similar results were obtained when the same juicemodel was
heated at 60 °C (Fig. 1).
