Zusammenfassung

Israelischer Orangensaft, -Pulp und -Schalen, aus handelsüblichen Herstellungsanlagen während der Verarbeitungszeit 1981/82 wurden auf ihre Spektralcharakteristik untersucht. Die im UV sichtbare Absorption alkoholischer Lösungen wurde erfaßt. Die Absorptionskurven für die drei Produkte waren ähnlich, ausgenommen die Absorptionintensitäten und das Fehlen eines deutlichen Maximums bei 280 nm für Orangensaft. Die hohe Variabilität der Absorptionscharakteristik bei Orangensaft zeigte, daß israelischer Orangensaft stark durch Umwelt- und landtechnische Faktoren beeinflußt wird.

Summary

Israeli orange juice, orange pulp and orange peel obtained from commercial processing plants during the 1981/82 processing season were analyzed for their spectral characteristics. UV-visible absorption of ethanolic solutions were analyzed. The absorption curves for the three products were similar, except for absorption intensities and lack of a distinct maximum at 280 nm for orange juice. The high variability in absorption characteristics observed in orange juice indicated that Isreali orange juice is strongly affected by environmental and agrotechnical factors.
