Results and discussion: • Fruit content was determined on the base of consequent markers: formol number, malic acid, K, flavonoids and sorbitol. • Measuring values was compared with indicated data of AIJN. • AIJN
3 7 13 20 - estimation of fruit content was lower by more then 50% then was declared on the label No
Cluster analysis of the samples with declared fruit content 12.5% Samples whit lower fruit content
Conclusion: • Accuracy of estimation fruit content in orange beverages was 5%. • eleven samples contained more or similar the required fruit content • five samples in ”grey zone” (6-10%) • four samples containing very low content of fruit (<6%)
