Destruction of C. Botulinum and Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) were also modeled. Process time was found to be positively associated with viscosity, up to 30* Brix. There was a high retention of Ascorbic Acid for all concentrations. The highest retention was found with the 10*Brix juice. The highest bacterial destruction of approximately 0.5 log reduction was attained for an axis temperature of 73*C with the 35* Brix juice. Because FDA requirements specify a 5 log reduction, a holding tube needs to be added.633 bytestext/htmlen-USterm paper
