Abstract:
The nettle juice stability during storage in dark glass bottles at 2-4 °C for 27 months was studied. Deviations of organoleptic (color, odor), physical and chemical (density, pH, dry residue, identification and quantification of hydroxycinnamic acids, carotenoids and chlorophyll) parameters were within acceptable standards. Accordingly, the juice shelf life in these conditions was established – 2 years.
