Characterization of different trading marks of grape juice in two regions of Brazil

The purpose of this work was to evaluated three different marks of juice of integral grape (Vitis labrusca L.) originating from two regions of Brazil (Southeast and Center-west). The juices had been evaluated as the following analyses: soluble solids (ºBrix), titratable acidity (AT), pH, vitamin C, reducing sugars, total and no-reducing sugars. The results indicated variability among the differents marks of grape juice, showing that they find themselves out of the established patterns by the vigorating Brazilian legislation. Acording to the high values of total and non reducing sugars, it may be inferred that there was addition of sucrose in the three analyzed juice marks.
