    Abstract

    The effect of temperature and soluble solids concentration on density, coefficient of thermal expansion and viscosity of clear

    grape juices from Mendoza, Argentina, collected during 1999 and 2001, was studied. The juice was obtained from different sections

    of a commercial evaporator at concentrations ranging from 22.970.6 Brix. The properties were measured between 20 C and

    80 C, in 10 C increments. It was also characterized in terms of extract, reducing sugars and refractive index at 20 C.The density

    was correlated as a function of absolute temperature and degrees Brix. The coefficient of thermal expansion was computed from its

    thermodynamic definition at constant pressure. The juices showed a Newtonian flow behavior within the range of variables studied.

    The effect of temperature was very well correlated with the Arrhenius equation (r2 > 0.992). The values of activation energy (Ea)

    increased with solid concentration from 16.3 to 52.0 kJ/mol. An equation to predict the viscosity in terms of temperature and soluble

    solids concentration was derived. Published predictive equations are statistically different from the equations derived here.

    1. Introduction

    Concentrated clear grape juices are extensively used

    in the enological industry. Their use as constituents of

    juices, jellies, marmalades, jams, colas, beverages, etc,

    generates a consumer market with an increasing demand

    because they are natural products with an industrial ver-satility that allows them to compete with other fruit

    juices.

    Argentina is one of the principal producers and

    exporters of concentrated clear grape juices in the world.

    They are produced mainly in the provinces of Mendoza

    and San Juan (Argentine Republic) from the virgin

    grape juice and in the most part from sulfited grape

    juices.

    The province of Mendozas legislation establishes

    that a portion of the grapes must be used for making

    concentrated clear grape juices. This product hasreached a high level of penetration in the export market

    and constitutes an important and growing productive

    alternative.

    An adequate manufacturing process, a correct design

    of the concentrate plants and an appropriate evaluation

    of their performance will facilitate optimization of the

    concentrated juices quality parameters. The plant effi-

    ciency is obtained from knowledge of the physics

    properties of the raw material and products. These

    properties are fundamental parameters that are used in

    the designing and calculations on all the equipment used

    and also in the control process.

    The rheological behavior influences directly the heat

    transfer coefficient (Pilati et al., 1998; Rubio et al.,

    1998) and therefore its knowledge is essential together

    with the influence of temperature on its value.The juices (concentrate and intermediate products)

    physical properties, such as density, viscosity, boiling

    point elevation, specific heat and coefficient of thermal

    expansion, are affected by their solid content and their

    temperature. For this reason, it is necessary to know

    the physical properties values, as a function of the tem-

    perature and the solids content, during the manufacture

    process, not just to obtain an excellent quality, but also

    to develop a data base, that is essential for optimizing

    the installation design and the transformation process

    itself.

    The principal solids constituents of clear grape juices

    are sugars (mostly glucose and fructose) and its concen-

    tration affects directly the density, viscosity and refrac-

    tion index.

    Tables were developed to related reducing sugar con-

    tents, refractometric values and density of pure solu-

    tions, at 20 C, for concentrate ranges from 0% to 85%

    w/w and sucrose solutions for concentrations form 0%

    to 70% and a temperature range from 0 to 100 C

    (AOAC, 1995).

    Barbieri and Rossi (1980) worked with white concen-

    trated clear grape juice in a falling film multiple effect

    evaporator. They obtained 18.2, 27.3, 38.6, 48.6 and

    64.6 Brix samples. They measured density, viscosityand boiling point elevation as a function of soluble sol-

    ids concentration and temperature. They presented the

    results in plots with predictive equations for the proper-

    ties studied.

    Di Leo (1988) published density, refraction index and

    viscosity data for a rectified concentrated grape juice

    and an aqueous solution of a 1:1 glucose/levulose mix-

    ture, for a soluble solids concentrate range from 60 to

    71% (in increments of 0.1%) and 20 C. The author

    determinated the density in undiluted and 2.5-fold

    diluted samples (100 g of clear grape juice in 250 ml of

    solution at 20 C), finding different results between both

    determinations. He recommended measuring density

    without dilution.

    Pandolfi, Romano, and Cerdan (1991) studied physi-

    cal and chemical characteristics of grape juices produced

    in Mendoza and San Juan provinces, Argentina. They

    determined density at 20 C in sulfited grape juices of

    2022 Bx and concentrated grape juices of 6872 Bx.

    They obtained no information on intermediate concen-

    trations or other temperatures.

    In general, the clarified juice concentrates have a

    Newtonian behavior (Ibarz & Ortiz, 1993; Rao, Cooley,

    & Vitali, 1984; Saenz & Costell, 1986; Saravacos, 1970),

    although some authors have found a small pseudoplas-

    ticity in the flow of grape concentrates, from the variety

    Concord (Vitis labrusca) for concentrations above

    55 Bx. This has been attributed to the presence of some

    soluble solids, mostly pectins and tartrates (Moressi &

    Spinosi, 1984; Saravacos, 1970).

    However, other authors consider the juice concen-trates as Newtonian, even at high soluble solids concen-

    trations of 6070 Bx (Barbieri & Rossi, 1980; Di Leo,

    1988; Rao et al., 1984; Schwartz & Costell, 1986).

    If we analyze the temperature influence on this prod-

    ucts viscosity, it seems that it is directly related with sol-

    uble solids concentration; the higher the concentration,

    the higher is the variation of the viscosity with tempera-

    ture (Rao et al., 1984; Saravacos, 1970).

    Schwartz and Costell (1986) determined clear grape

    juice viscosity at 20, 30, 40 and 50 C, for 30, 40, 50,

    60 and 66% soluble solids concentration, but did not

    published the experimental data. These authors pre-

    sented the correlation constants values of the Arrhenius

    equation for temperature, a potential and an exponen-

    tial model between viscosity and solids concentration

    for each temperature studied.

    The physical property that represents density change

    in a material, due to an increase in its temperature at

    constant pressure, is called the coefficient of thermal

    expansion. The importance of this parameter can be

    seen in the effect that density change in the product

    can have over heat transfer during the process. There

    is no published data on the coefficient of the thermal

    expansion for grape juices and their concentrates.

    Although many studies have been done to character-ize fruit juices properties and their concentrates, to date

    there have been no studies related physical properties

    of fruit juices from the region of Mendoza with local

    varieties like Cereza, Criolla and Moscatel Rosada

    (Vitis vinifera cv. Cereza, cv. Criolla and cv. Moscatel

    Rosada).

    In many cases, the existing information did not cover

    all the temperature and concentration ranges that are

    used in the evaporation process, or else cover to pure

    sugar solutions, or grape juices of other varieties and/

    or originating in other geographical zones.

    For that reason, the objectives of the present work

    were:

    (1) Determine density, viscosity and coefficient of ther-

    mal expansion of clear grape juices of Mendoza,

    over the soluble solids concentration and tempera-

    ture ranges used in their processing and

    conservation.

    (2) Determine the flow Activation Energy (apparent)

    values for each studied concentration.

    (3) Derive predictive equations for the studied proper-

    ties of clear grape juices, as functions of soluble sol-

    ids concentration and temperature.

    2.2. Data analyze

    Measured density values were correlated with abso-

    lute temperature (T) and degrees Brix (Bx), using multi-

    ple lineal regression with first, second and third degrees

    polynomials, using the MarquardtLevenburg method,

    supplied in the PSI-Plot software of Poly Software Inter-national, Ltd. Eq. (2) shows a third degree polynomial:

    q a0 a1 T a2 Bx a3 T2

    a4 Bx2

    a5 T3 a6 Bx

    3 2

    The best fit equation was selected based on the results of

    a Variance Analysis between measured and calculated

    values, and on their Root Mean Square Error (RMSE),

    using the criterion that the equation with the least

    RMSE gives the best correlation. Equations were also

    compared to the ones published by Barbieri and Rossi

    (1980).

    The coefficient of thermal expansion (b) was calcu-lated from the thermodynamic expression, at constant

    pressure, using the best fitting polynomial to represent

    density (q).

    The rheological behavior of the studied grape juices was

    described using Newtons equation of constant viscosity:

    s l_c 4

    in which s is the shear stress; l is the Newtonian viscos-

    ity and_

    c is the shear rate.Choosing the rheological model (in this work, the

    Newtonian one) and the accessory, RHEOCALC soft-

    ware captured the angular velocity of the spindle

    (rpm) and torque (% of the scale from 0 to 100) values,

    and used them to calculate viscosity (mPas), shear stress

    (N/m2) and shear rate (s1). Viscosity values (l), for dif-

    ferent samples and assayed temperatures, were calcu-

    lated from shear stress (s) and shear rate ( _c) using

    linear regression, with y-intercept = 0, using the minimal

    square method incorporated in Microsoft Excel

    software.

    Once viscosity values (l) were established at different

    temperatures, (apparent) flow Activation Energy valuesfor each studied concentration were calculated using the

    Arrhenius equation:

    l l1 expEa=RT 5

    where: l = viscosity (mPa s); l1

    = constant (mPa s);

    Ea = activation energy (kcal/mol); R = universal gas

    constant (1.987 103 kcal/mol-K); T= absolute tem-

    perature (K).

    l1

    and Ea from Eq. (5) were determined by correlat-

    ing exponentially viscosity values (l) with the inverse of

    absolute temperature (1/T) using the MarquardLeven-

    burg method, supplied by PSI-Plot of Poly Software

    International, Ltd.

    Finally, to derive a predictive equation for clear grape

    juice viscosity as functions of soluble solids concentra-

    tion and temperature, l1

    and Ea were correlated with

    soluble solids concentration (Bx) by multiple linear

    regression, using the same method indicated before fordensity. The obtained equation was compared to the

    ones published by Barbieri and Rossi (1980), and by

    Schwartz and Costell (1986), using a variance analyze

    between absolutes differences of the measured and calcu-

    lated values, and of their root mean square error

    (RMSE).

    All correlations and statistic analyzes were done for a

    95% confidence interval.

    3. Results and discussion

    In Table 1, are presented the refraction index, dry

    matter and reducing sugars values determined for the

    initial juice (22.9 Bx).

    In Table 2, values of density of clear grape juices are

    shown with different soluble solids concentrations mea-

    sured at different temperatures.

    In Table 1 it could be observed that density is

    strongly affected by soluble solids concentration (the

    same effect for all the temperature range), while it is very

    slightly affected by temperature (the same effect for all

    the concentrations). For example, for concentrations

    of 22.9 and 70.6 Bx, density decreases respectively

    2.94% and 2.69% for a temperature increase from 20to 80 C; for temperatures of 20 and 80 C, density in-

    creases by respectively, 23.79% and 24.11% for a con-

    centration increase from 22.9 a 70.6 Bx.

    As indicated before, density values shown in Table 2

    were correlated with absolute temperature (T) and de-

    grees Brix by multiple linear regression. The regression

    parameters obtained with 1, 2 and 3 degrees polynomi-

    als were shown in Table 3, with the correspondent deter-

    mination coefficient (r2

    ).Though r2 are high and close for all the polynomials,

    ANOVA (analysis of variance) between means of the

    absolute values of the differences between measured

    and calculated values for each polynomial (F-criti-

    cal = 3.90), showed significant differences between the

    first and second degrees polynomial (F= 32.60) and

    for first and third degree (F= 32.86) and no significant

    difference for second and third degrees polynomials

    (F= 4.7 104). RMSE obtained values were 4.17,

    2.28 and 2.27 for the 1, 2 and 3 degrees polynomials,

    respectively. Calculated densities using the Barbieri

    and Rossi (1980) equation showed a RMSE va-

    lue = 7.92, and ANOVA between the 2 degree polyno-

    mial and this equation had an F= 34.82. These results

    indicate that the Barbieri and Rossi (1980) equation is

    not appropriate for predicting Mendoza grape juice den-

    sities, measured in this study.

    The results from ANOVA and RMSE showed that

    the 2 polynomial is the best to express density as a func-

    tion of the absolute temperature (T) and soluble solids

    concentration (Bx), because it has three fewer fitting

    coefficients than the 3 polynomial. This polynomial

    was used in Eq. (3) to obtain the coefficient of thermal

    expansion (b), derived from Eq. (6):

    b a1 2 a3 T

    a0 a1 T a2 Bx a3 T2 a4 Bx

    2

    6

    where: T= absolute temperature (K); Bx = soluble sol-ids (%w/w); a0, a1, a2, a3 and a4 = Table 3 parameters,

    for the second degree polynomial.

    In Fig. 1 is shown the viscosity variance with the sol-

    uble solids concentration (Bx) for each studied

    temperature.

    In Fig. 1, it can be seen that viscosity rises in an expo-

    nential manner with increasing concentration, being less

    pronounced with temperature increasing. Also, the

    observed values agree with data of Saravacos (1970)

    and Rao et al. (1984) being related with soluble solids

    concentration; the higher this is, the higher is the varia-

    tion of viscosity with temperature.

    Comparing viscosity data from MCR and SGL, re-

    ported by Di Leo (1988) for 60.7, 67.0 and 70.6% solids

    concentrations, for MCR it was 45.05, 136.00 and

    271.13 mPa s, respectively, and for SGL was 45.78,

    140.23 and 299.01 mPa s, respectively. It can be seen that

    they were very similar to the values shown in Table 2:

    45.73, 140.68 and 310.61 mPas.

    In Table 4, flow Activation Energy (Ea) values were

    shown for each studied concentration calculated using

    the Arrhenius equation, together with the respective fit-ting parameters and determination coefficients (r2).

    Activation Energy (Ea) data obtained in this work

    were very similar to that reported by Schwartz and Cos-

    tell (1986), for clear grape and apple juices, and to the

    one presented by Ibarz and Ortiz (1993), for clear peach

    juices, in the considered ranges of soluble solids concen-

    tration and temperatures.

    To derive a predictive equation for clear grape juice

    viscosity, as a function of soluble solids concentration

    and temperature, l1

    and (Ea/R) parameters were corre-

    lated with soluble solids concentration (Bx).

    First, data from Table 4 (l1 and Ea/R vs. Bx) wasplotted using logarithmic scales on the y-axis, and it

    was observed that a correlation of the parameters with

    equations like the ones presented below could be

    obtained:

    l1 expa0 a1 Brix a2 Brix2 7

    Ea=R expa0 a1 Brix a2 Brix2 8

    Fitting parameters of the two equations, with respective

    determination coefficients (r2), are presented in Table 5.

    In Table 5, it could be observed that both equations

    show an excellent fit, represented by r2 values. Eqs. (7)

    and (8) incorporated into Eq. (5) predict clear grape

    juice values, in the studied range of Bx and

    temperature.

    Viscosity values from Table 2 and calculated values

    were compared using Eq. (5) and the ones calculated

    with the equations presented by Barbieri and Rossi

    (1980), and by Schwartz and Costell (1986). Viscosityvalues were calculated for all the studied variable range

    with the equation presented by Barbieri and Rossi

    (1980). Although Schwartz and Costell (1986) presented

    two equations: one exponential and the other potential,

    for 20, 30, 40 and 50 C, only the potential equation

    could be used to compare with Eq. (5), just because

    the same parameter values were assigned for 30 and

    40 C for the exponential equation, so it gave the same

    viscosity values for both temperatures.

    Mean ANOVA of the absolute values of the

    differences between the measured viscosity and those cal-

    culated using Eq. (5) and the Barbieri and Rossi (1980)

    equation, for all the range ofBx and temperatures (with

    F-critical = 3.90), did not show significant differences be-

    tween the two equations (F= 2.05). The RMSE values

    obtained were 4.59 and 7.85, respectively, indicating the

    best fit to the experimental data was found by using Eq.

    (5).

    The comparison between Eq. (5) and the potential

    equation presented by Schwartz and Costell (1986), in

    the temperature range indicated previously, showed sig-

    nificant differences. The ANOVA result (for F-criti-

    cal = 4.02) was F = 5.03, while the RMSE values were

    0.31 and 3.89, respectively. These results indicate that

    the potential equation presented by Schwartz and Cos-tell (1986) is not appropriate for predicting grape juice

    viscosities in this work.

    Lastly, it can be remarked that the results presented

    here were determinated using grape juices samples ob-

    tained during the concentration process in a commercial

    evaporator, at different concentrations, with a chemical

    composition more representative of the process, which

    are different to prepared samples obtained by water dilu-

    tion of concentrated grape juices.

    4. Conclusions

    From the results obtained in the present study the fol-

    lowing items can be summarized:

    1. Clear grape juices density and viscosity from Men-

    doza, Argentina, in a range of soluble solids concen-

    tration between 22.9 and 70.6 Bx and temperatures

    between 20 and 80 C, were measured.

    2. Density was correlated as a function of the absolute

    temperature (T) and degrees Brix (Bx) with a second

    degree polynomial (r2 = 0.999): q = a0 + a1 * T+

    a2 * Bx + a3 * (T)2 + a4 * (Bx)

    3. The thermal expansion coefficient was calculated

    using a thermodynamic expression, with constant

    pressure, using a second degree polynomial for den-

    sity (Eq. (6)).

    4. Clear grape juices showed a Newtonian flow behavior.

    5. Activation Energy (Ea) values increased with the sol-

    uble solids from 3.9 to 12.4 kcal/mol (16.3 to 52.0 kJ/mol). There are very similar to the ones reported in

    the literature for clear grape, apple and peach juices.

    6. An equation to predict clear grape juices viscosity as

    a function of the soluble solids concentration and

    temperature was obtained. It was presented as Eq.

    (5) together with Eqs. (7) and (8).

    7. The Variance (ANOVA) and the Root Mean Square

    Error (RMSE) indicated that the equations published

    in the literature were statically different to the ones

    derived, so they are not appropriate for predicting

    grape juices density and viscosity in the present study.
