The beverages produced by roselle calyce<italic>s</italic> are called hibiscus tea, bissap, roselle, red sorrel, agua de Jamaica, Lo-Shen, Sudan tea, or karkadè (McKay et al. <xref rid="b29" ref-type="bibr">2010</xref>).</p><p>The calyx contains two main anthocyanins, delphinidin-3-sambubioside, also known as delphinidin-3-xylosylglucoside or hibiscin, and cyanidin-3-sambubioside, also known as cyanidin-3-xylosylglucoside or gossypicyanin, and two minor anthocyanins, delphinidin-3-glucoside and cyanidin-3-glucoside (Wong et al. <xref rid="b40" ref-type="bibr">2002</xref>; Amor and Allaf <xref rid="b3" ref-type="bibr">2009</xref>; Cisse et al. <xref rid="b13" ref-type="bibr">2011</xref>). Roselle anthocyanins can contribute to health benefits as a good source of antioxidants as well as a natural food color (Tsai et al. <xref rid="b38" ref-type="bibr">2002</xref>; Duangmal et al. <xref rid="b15" ref-type="bibr">2008</xref>). They are derivatives of the basic flavylium cation structure with an electron-deficient nucleus, which makes them highly reactive and their reaction involves discolorization of the anthocyanin pigments (Chumsri et al. <xref rid="b11" ref-type="bibr">2008</xref>). Factors like light, pH, temperature, oxygen, ascorbic acid, and sugar are contributing factors in degradation or stability of anthocyanins (Fennema <xref rid="b19" ref-type="bibr">1996</xref>; Tsai and Huang <xref rid="b37" ref-type="bibr">2004</xref>; Chumsri et al. <xref rid="b11" ref-type="bibr">2008</xref>; Cisse et al. <xref rid="b13" ref-type="bibr">2011</xref>).</p><p>Most people do not prefer beverages made from roselle extract as it has an acidic and bitter taste. Blending roselle extract with tropical juice from fruits such as mango, guava and papaya could improve the aroma, taste, nutritional, and antioxidant properties of the roselle-fruit blends. The fruits chosen in this study were due to the availability of these fruits during the season. Papaya and guava are also among the underutilized fruits in fruit juice production.</p><p>Guava (<italic>Psidium guajava</italic> L.) belongs to the family <italic>Myrtaceae</italic>, commonly known as the apple of the tropics. It grows well in tropical and subtropical regions. The fruits are rich in vitamin C and are almost fivefold higher when compared with oranges (Jawaheer et al. <xref rid="b23" ref-type="bibr">2003</xref>; Ashaye et al. <xref rid="b5" ref-type="bibr">2005</xref>; Thaipong et al. <xref rid="b36" ref-type="bibr">2006</xref>) Most of the guava produced around the world is consumed fresh (Jawaheer et al. <xref rid="b23" ref-type="bibr">2003</xref>).</p><p>Papaya (<italic>Carica papaya</italic> L.) is grown in every tropical and subtropical country. A tree-like herbaceous crop, it is a member of the Caricaceae family. It is one of the largest in size of the tropical fruits; it has a pulpy flesh yellow or orange colored with shades of yellow and red, depending on the fruit variety. It has the flavour of a cantaloupe; sweet and juicy with some muskiness (Parker et al. <xref rid="b31" ref-type="bibr">2010</xref>). The fruits are very nutritious due to high contents of vitamin A, C, and iron (Chowdhury et al. <xref rid="b10" ref-type="bibr">2008</xref>).</p><p>Mango (<italic>Mangifera indica</italic> L) is one of the most important and widely cultivated fruits of the tropical and subtropical world (Akhter et al. <xref rid="b2" ref-type="bibr">2012</xref>). It is also known as the king of the tropical fruits (Gerbaud <xref rid="b20" ref-type="bibr">2008</xref>). It is an excellent source of fiber, vitamins A, C, and B complex, iron, and phosphorus (Akhter et al. <xref rid="b2" ref-type="bibr">2012</xref>).</p><p>Many studies have been conducted on physicochemical and antioxidant properties of roselle extract (Tsai and Huang <xref rid="b37" ref-type="bibr">2004</xref>; Chumsri et al. <xref rid="b11" ref-type="bibr">2008</xref>; Cisse et al. <xref rid="b13" ref-type="bibr">2011</xref>). However, few studies have been conducted on roselle-fruit juice blends, and practically none on the effects of storage time and temperature on roselle-fruit juices. The aim of the present study was to investigate the influence of storage time and temperature on the physicochemical and antioxidant properties of roselle-fruit blends stored in plastic bottles.</p></sec><sec sec-type="materials|methods"><title>Materials and Methods</title><sec><title>Plant material</title><p>Dark red dried roselle calyces were purchased from the municipality market in Morogoro.

Kumar et al. <xref rid="b25" ref-type="bibr">2012</xref> also observed a significant increase in pH over a period of 120 days of storage at ambient temperature of guava blended with aloe vera and roselle juice nectars.</p></sec><sec><title>Titratable acidity</title><p>TA for roselle-fruit juice blends ranged from 3.12 to 1.28 (28°C) and 3.12–1.24 (4°C) during the 6 months of storage (Table <xref ref-type="table" rid="tbl1">1</xref>). The TA for some of the roselle-fruit juice blends was found to decrease significantly (<italic>P</italic> < 0.05) at 28°C as well as at 4°C (Tables <xref ref-type="table" rid="tbl3">3</xref> and <xref ref-type="table" rid="tbl4">4</xref>). Decreased acidity might be due to acidic hydrolysis of polysaccharides where acid is utilized for converting non-RS into RS (Bhardwaj and Pandey <xref rid="b7" ref-type="bibr">2011</xref>).</p></sec><sec><title>Reducing sugars</title><p>Sugars are one of the most important constituents of fruit products, essential for and also act as a natural food preservative (Bhardwaj and Pandey <xref rid="b7" ref-type="bibr">2011</xref>). The RS value for roselle-fruit ranged from 2.95 to 9.92 mg/100 g (28°C) and 2.95–9.32 mg/100 g (4°C) during the 6 months of storage. The results show a significant increase (<italic>P</italic> < 0.05) in RS with increasing storage period. The sugar content of fruit juices usually increases with increased storage period. The increase is probably due to the hydrolysis of polysaccharides like starch, cellulose, pectin, etc. and conversion into simple sugars (glucose, fructose). Kausar et al. (<xref rid="b24" ref-type="bibr">2012</xref>) reported increased RS with increased storage time of a cucumber–melon functional drink and 70% increased RS during the 6 months of storage of bottled gourd–basil leave juice (Majumdar et al. <xref rid="b27" ref-type="bibr">2011</xref>).</p></sec><sec><title>Effects of storage temperature and time on color</title><p>Visually, no color change was observed in all of the roselle-fruit blends during the 6 months of storage at 4°C. However, minimal loss in visual color was observed in all roselle-fruit blends stored for 4–6 months at 28°C. The results are similar to the findings of Saeed and Ahmed (<xref rid="b32" ref-type="bibr">1977</xref>), who did not observe any visual color change in carbonated beverages prepared from roselle calyces during 3 months of storage at ambient temperature.</p><p>Lightness values (<italic>L</italic>*<bold>)</bold> of the roselle-fruit blends ranged from 19.6 to 13.8 (28°C) and 19.6–14.2 (4°C) for 6 months of storage while redness values (<italic>a</italic>*) of the roselle-fruit blends ranged from 20.0 to 13.0 (28°C) and 20.0–13.5 (4°C) respectively after 6 months of storage (Table <xref ref-type="table" rid="tbl2">2</xref>). Anthocyanins are responsible for the red color in roselle-mango juice blends and color of anthocyanin is pH dependent (the red flavylium is stable at low pH) as the pH changes were substantial hence the color changes of the roselle-fruit blends. Yellowness (<italic>b</italic>*) values of the roselle-fruit blends ranged from 8.5 to 2.7 (28°C) and 8.5–3.7 (refrigerated) during the 6 months of storage.</p><table-wrap id="tbl2"

The antioxidant capacity of fruits and vegetables, which benefits human health, is highly correlated with their anthocyanin and TPC (Fang et al. <xref rid="b17" ref-type="bibr">2006</xref>).

However, these compounds were lost during 6 months of storage at 28°C and 4°C. The loss of vitamin C and anthocyanin was more pronounced at 28°C; therefore, storage at 4°C should be encouraged when the products need to be stored for long time.</p></sec></body><back><ack><p>This research was funded by the Norwegian Universities, committee for Development Research and Education (NUFU, project 2008/10265) through Norwegian University of Life Sciences, Mekelle University, Sokoine University of Agriculture and Hawassa University.</p></ack><sec><title>Conflict of Interest</title><p>None declared.</p></sec><sec><title>Funding Information</title><p>This research was funded by the Norwegian Programme for Development Research and Education (NUFU, project 2008/10265) through Norwegian University of Life Sciences, Mekelle University, Sokoine University of Agriculture and Hawassa University.</p></sec><ref-list><ref id="b1"><element-citation publication-type="journal"><person-group person-group-type="author"><name><surname>Abou-Arab</surname><given-names>AA</given-names></name><name><surname>Abu-Salem</surname><given-names>FM</given-names></name><name><surname>Abou-Arab</surname><given-names>EA</given-names></name></person-group><article-title>Physico-chemical properties of natural pigments (anthocyanin) extracted from Roselle calyces (<italic>Hibiscus subdariffa</italic></article-title><source>J.
