(Nonenzymatic browning(NEB))development in<br />

samples was determined soluble brown pigments as(<br />

absorbance at 420 nm(A420)).Absorbance at 420 nm<br />

has generally been used by other resaerchers (Kacem<br />

et al.,1986;Klim and Nagy.,1988).Changes in A420<br />

values for samples during four months of storage at<br />

20,30 and 40 ° C are shown in table 1.<strong>The</strong> color<br />

samples exposed to light during four months study<br />

appeared darker significantly than unexposed.We<br />

observed an increase in browning as the storage<br />

temperature and time increased.This could in part be<br />

attributed to light transmission,especially ultra-violet<br />

light,which accelerates browning reactios.<strong>The</strong> results<br />

in the same table are apparent that samples which<br />

stored in plastic bottles contain more concentration of<br />

941<br />

browning pigments than samples stored in the glass<br />

bottles ,because plastic allows more oxygen<br />

permeation .Statistcal analysis showed that<br />

temperature and period time had significant<br />

effect(p
