Objective To improve the storage stability of Laian Malus asiatica cloudy juice beverage. Methods Using suspension stability as the main indicator, the effects of stabilizer composition, ultrasound, and homogenization assisted treatment on the stability of fruit juice beverages were analyzed. Through storage experiments, the changes in quality indicators of cloudy juice at 4 ℃ and 25 ℃ were analyzed, and a model was constructed to predict its shelf life. Results The stabilization process of Laian Malus asiatica cloudy juice was as follows: 0.05 g of xanthan gum and 0.1 g of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose were added to every 100 mL of cloudy juice, assisted by ultrasonic treatment at 300 W for 0.5 min, and then homogenized at 10000 r/min for 1.0 min. Under these conditions, the suspension stability of fruit juice beverages increased from 12.21% to 38.62%. The storage test showed that at 4 ℃, 25 ℃, and 90 d of storage, the largest change was in comprehensive color difference value (∆E), followed by total acid, while the smaller changes were in suspension stability and sensory perception. It was found that there was a highly significant correlation (P<0.001) between 4 quality indicators, including ∆E, total acid conetent, suspension stability, and sensory evaluation. The model fitting results showed that the changes in quality indicators of fruit juice beverages during storage conform to a first-order kinetic model. According to the sensory evaluation model, the predicted shelf life of beverages at 4 ℃ and 25 ℃ was 384.36 d and 153.74 d, respectively. The verification test results showed that the relative error between the predicted storage time of the model and the actual time at 4 ℃ and 25 ℃ was very low, only 4.50% and 0.82%, respectively. Conclusion The stability of Laian Malus asiatica cloudy juice beverage can be significantly improved by xanthan gum and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, assisted with ultrasound and homogenization treatment. The established model has high accuracy and can be used for predicting the shelf life of juice beverages.
