Physicochemical properties and antioxidant activities of marula fruit (Sclerocarya birrea subsp. Caffra) steamed and boiled before juice extraction. [PDF]
This study showed the importance of processing on nutritional qualities of marula fruit juice. The boiling and steaming decrease the vitamin C content of the juice when compared to unprocessed marula fruit. Steaming of the fruit (Marula) before juicing increases the total phenolic content and antioxidant activities of the marula fruit juice.

Cold-pressed guabiroba juice was subjected to block freeze concentration. The best process efficiency (PE) was obtained for the first stage of freeze concentration compared to the second stage (C2; 57.47%). Yogurt formulations were carried out with the concentrated juice from stage 1 (C1) (0, 10% (I10), and 15% (I15)).
