Each optimum from each orange variety was selected and with a control (100% late Valencia and blood orange), subjected to physicochemical and nutritional analyses (minerals, β-carotene and vitamin C). The optimum formulation of blend was 80% orange Valencia late and 20% cabbage through the sensory attributes by design expert program. Also, the 74% of blood orange and 26% of cabbage was selected in the case of the blood orange variety. There were significant differences (p< 0.05) in the physico-chemical parameters with the exception of the total ash content. The nutritional (β-carotene and vitamin C) contents of two orange varieties and their optimum were significantly different (p<0.05).Also, mineral composition such as zinc, potassium, magnesium, iron and calcium recorded a significant difference (p<0.05) between the blends and the orange varieties. Sensory analysis has revealed a clear profile for the blended mixed juice. ER -
