Abstract The effect of storage conditions on changes of pH, total soluble solids (°Brix), colour, betalains (betacyanins and betaxanthins), and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural was investigated in apple-beetroot juices stored at 2, 7 and 20 °C for 120 days. The results obtained showed that the quality of apple-beetroot juice is significantly influenced by temperature and storage duration. Increasing storage time and temperature induced an apparent rise (P  0.05) in both parameters among juices stored at 2, 7 and 20 °C. This observation agrees with previous studies [19, 20, 23]. On the contrary, Mahnoori et al. [18] reported increasing total soluble solids and decreasing pH in litchi-beetroot juice blends. According to Bhardwaj and Pandey [24], retention or minimal increase in °Brix values during juice storage is desirable for preserving good juice quality. A gradual rise in °Brix may be associated with a continual increase in the hydrolysis of polysaccharides and acids. On the other hand, the increased pH is accompanied by a decrease in the acidity of juices during storage [18, 25].

Colour changes Colour represents one of the most widely measured product quality attributes that affect the preferences of consumers. Figure 1 shows the colour characteristics L* (lightness), a* (redness) and b* (yellowness) of ABJs and how these are affected by storage time and temperature. As seen in Fig. 1a, L* values increased by approximately 6–12% (P
