In this study, advantages and disadvantages of the innovative, low-oxygen spiral-filter press system were studied in comparison with the belt press, commonly applied in small and medium size enterprises for the production of cloudy apple juice. On the basis of equivalent throughput, a higher juice yield could be achieved with spiral-filter press. Also a more turbid juice with a higher content of suspended solids could be produced. The avoidance of enzymatic browning during juice extraction led to an attractive yellowish juice with an elevated phenolic content. Moreover, it was found that juice produced with spiral-filter press demonstrates a higher retention of phenolic compounds during the downstream processing steps and storage. The results demonstrates the advantage of the use of a spiral-filter press in comparison with belt press in the production of a high quality cloudy apple juice rich in phenolic compounds, without the use of oxidation inhibiting additives.

Non-enzymatic degradation of flavan-3-ols by ascorbic acid- and sugar-derived aldehydes during storage of apple juices and concentrates produced with the innovative spiral filter press.

Potentially health-promoting concentrations of flavan-3-ols were previously shown to be retained in apple juices produced with the emerging spiral filter press. Due to the novelty of this technology, the factors governing the stability of flavan-3-ol-rich apple juices have only scarcely been studied. Therefore, we produced flavan-3-ol-rich apple juices and concentrates (16, 40, 70 °Brix) supplemented with ascorbic acid (0.

In this work, two vintages (2019 and 2020) of red-fleshed 'Weirouge' apples were processed with the innovative spiral filter press technology to investigate juice production in an oxygen-reduced atmosphere. After pressing, a more brilliant red color and appreciably higher amounts of oxidation-sensitive constituents (ascorbic acid, anthocyanins, and colorless (poly)phenols) were seen in spiral filter pressed juices compared to those produced with conventional systems (horizontal filter press and decanter). In a subsequent stability study (24 weeks storage at 4, 20, and 37 °C), the color and phenolic compounds were monitored and differences in the juices produced with the different pressing-systems were widely maintained during the storage period.

Pilot-scale production of cloudy juice from low-quality pear fruit under low-oxygen conditions.

Institute for Agricultural and Fisheries Research (ILVO), Technology and Food Sciences Unit, Product Quality and Innovation Research Area, Burgemeester Van Gansberghelaan 115/1, 9820 Merelbeke, Belgium.

In this study, a process for the production of premium quality yellowish, cloudy pear juice from low-quality fruit under low-oxygen conditions was developed. The production process consisted of (1) shredding, (2) pressing with spiral-filter technology including a vacuumised extraction cell, (3) holding in an inert gas buffer tank, (4) pasteurisation, (5) and refrigerated storage. First, the system parameters of a spiral-filter press were optimised with the aim of producing a yellowish, cloudy pear juice with the highest possible juice yield.
