ABSTRACT / САЖЕТАК:

The chemical analysis of five different brands of orange juice in the Serbian market were evaluated to determine their overall quality. Assays were evaluated for eight quantitative characters: pH value, moisture content, total solids, acidity, content of Ca2+, Mg2+, Cl– and Vitamin C at the laboratory of the Faculty of Agronomy, Čačak. The analyses were performed under the Ordinance on fruit juices and certain related products intended for human consumption („Official Gazette of RS“, No. 103/2018, 94/2019, 2/2020 – correction, 84/2020). Generally, the juice samples were within the regulatory specifications, and are fit for consumption.
