Summary: Whey-based apple beverages may provide an interesting alternative to other beverage products available on the market but stability of those products has not been established. The present work provides a qualitative comparison of apple and apple-whey beverages over a 12-month storage period. The beverages contained 12% of extract, of which 50% was apple concentrate, and apple-whey beverages contained acid whey. The levels of dry matter, extract, ash, protein and total acidity did not change during the storage period. There were decreases of between 6% and 93% in the concentration of saccharose, lactose, polyphenols and vitamin C, as well as in antioxidant activity and selected colour parameters. There were significant differences between apple and apple-whey beverages in their sensory assessment, both in the 5-point scale analysis and in descriptive flavour analysis. The sensory qualities of beverages decreased significantly during the storage period.
