Conversely, in apple juices, where the level of L-malic acid is much higher (typically 4-5 gil) we found much higher levels of Dmalic acid, anything up to 1500 mg/I, which suggests that about half of the acid was added. D-malic acid has not been detected in any samples of apple, grapefruit, orange or pineapple juices since mid-1992. This might indicate that it would be worthwhile to drop the analyte from a screening protocol. However, if this material was to be detected in a sample of pure juice, it would instantly prove that there was a problem with the product and the company selling the product would have no defence to counteract any criminal action brought against them.
One limitation of the multi component approaches is that the published ranges are often very broad. This leaves scope for manipulation by an unscrupulous supplier and, without expert knowledge of the values that are AUTHENTICITY OF FRUIT JUICES, JAMS AND PRESERVES 37 expected for a juice from a particular origin, an analyst could easily accept juices as authentic when in fact they were adulterated or vice versa. The RSK system stresses that the values are a guide for the competent analyst in making a judgement but such an approach is more in keeping with the German legal system than with the British or American ones.
7 Typical DMR spectrum of ethanol derived from an orange juice. 0 'Source: Modified from Martin et al. (1991). bDI is the deuterium isotope value at the methyl site in the ethanol. cD z is the deuterium isotope value at the methylene site in the ethanol. dAvg D is the average deuterium content in the ethanol molecule. sucrose typically has a deuterium content around 92 ppm. This is significantly lower than the values found in citrus juices from concentrate (typically around 103-105 ppm) and for cane sucrose (around 111 ppm).
