Resumen:
The quality of apple cubes (Red Delicious and Granny Smith) maintained in pasteurised or fresh orange juice with sucrose and
chemical preservatives: acidulants (citric and ascorbic acids) and potassium sorbate or sodium benzoate, packaged in plastic films of
different gaseous permeability (polyethylene (PE) and EVA-SARAN-EVA (ESE)), was analysed during storage at 10 1C. Surface
colour, microbial growth and instrumental texture changes were measured. Microbial flora was identified, and its growth was
mathematically modelled. Shelf-life values of 10 d in polyethylene and higher than 25 d in ESE film, maintaining acceptable quality
attributes, were obtained for both apple varieties in pasteurised juices. For Red Delicious in unpasteurised orange juice with
acidulants and potassium sorbate (0.125?0.250 g/kg), shelf-life values were 7.5?8.5 d in PE and higher than 15 d in ESE film. For
Granny Smith apples in unpasteurised juice without potassium sorbate, shelf-life values were 10 d in PE and higher than 15 d in ESE.
Higher concentrations (0.375?0.50 g/kg) of potassium sorbate adversely affected colour. Sodium benzoate was discarded as
preservative because it produced severe browning in both apple varieties. All the samples showed safe sanitary conditions; coliforms
microorganisms did not grow in any of the tested conditions.
