The average concentration of Pb in 53 samples of canned orange juice currently sold in Korean market was 0.225 mg/kg, and that of Sn, 40.7 mg/kg. There was no appreciable difference in Pb concentration according to elapsed time after manufacturing, whereas Sn concentration increased 0.66 mg/kg per month. During the storage at room temperature or in refrigerator after opening, the Pb concentration increased slowly, reaching 1.7 to 1.8 times of original concentration, whereas Sn concentration increased by 20% per day, resulting in 3 times of original concentration after 7 days. There were no serious changes in Pb and Sn concentration in storage at room temperature or refrigerator for 3 days, when juice samples were opened and transferred to glass container. It is needed that detailed inspection by undertaken to monitor the contents of heavy metals in canned orange juice, since 18% of samples within recommended distribution period exceeded the legal standard for Pb, and recommended that more attention be paid in handling canned orange juice after opening, in order to avoid the hazard from heavy metals.

The effects of filling amount and temperature of orage juices on the release of tin from can were investigated according to storage period and temperature. For the experiment, the orange juice in can with the full weight of 200g were filled respectively with 170g, 180g, 190g, respectively, changing filling temperature to 8$0^{\circ}C$, 88$^{\circ}C$, 93$^{\circ}C$. In the case of 170g orange juice content all samples with the filling temperature at 8$0^{\circ}C$, 88$^{\circ}C$, 93$^{\circ}C$ and the storage temperature at 4$^{\circ}C$, 26$^{\circ}C$, 4$0^{\circ}C$ surpassed 150ppm(the permitted limit of tin) of released tin content after 30 days in ascending order. In the case of 180g orange juice content, all samples except the one with the filling temperature at 93$^{\circ}C$ and storage temperature at 4$^{\circ}C$, which took 90 days to surpass the limit, surpassed 150ppm of released tin content after 30days. In the case of 190g orange juice content, the samples with the filling temperature of 88$^{\circ}C$ and 93$^{\circ}C$ and with the storage temperature at 4$0^{\circ}C$ took 60 days to reached to the limit, while the samples with the storage temperature at 4$^{\circ}C$ and 26$^{\circ}C$ contained within the 150ppm limit for 240 days. The vacuum of can increased as the filling temperature was increased, and the sample with higher filling amount and temperature at the lower storage temperature decreased the release of tin.

Canned and bottled orange juices currently sold in Korean market were stored for 24 weeks at 20, 30, 40 and $50^{\circ}C$ and analyzed after opening at 4 week intervals. Activation energy, $Q_{10}$ values and shelf-life at respective temperatures were calculated from the data on various quality indexes. Proposed indexes were lead, tin, iron and vitamin C contents in canned juices and vitamin C content and browning index in bottled juices and $Q_{10}$ values for these parameters were in the range of $1.3{\sim}2.0$. Shelf-life calculated for canned juices at 10, 20 and $30^{\circ}C$ were 10, 6 and 3 months and that in bottled juices, 24, 12 and 6 months, respectively. When the distribution temperature of juices in Korea is assumed to be $15^{\circ}C$ average, the optimum shelf-life was estimated to be 8 months in canned juices and 18 months in bottled juices. In order to ascertain the safety of canned orange juices, efforts are needed to re-examine the recommended distribution period, legal limit for lead and improvement of container materials.

The effect of storage temperature and period on the contents of tin, iron, lead and vitamin C, browning index and pH was studied for canned and bottled orange juices currently sold in Korean market, which were stored for 24 weeks at 20, 30, 40 and $50^{\circ}C$ and analyzed at 4 week intervals. The change of metal content in bottled juices was negligible but metal release in canned juices was remarkably affected by storage temperature. Tin content after 16 weeks increased by $2.7{\sim}13.1$ times, iron content after 24 weeks increased by $4.3{\sim}5.2$ times and lead content after 24 weeks increased by $1.1{\sim}2.9$ times. Retention of total ascorbic acid in canned juices after 24 weeks at $30{\sim}50^{\circ}$ decreased to $13{\sim}76%$, while that in bottled juices decreased to $4{\sim}80%$. Browning index in canned juices after 24 weeks below $40^{\circ}C$ increased slightly with serious discoloration at $50^{\circ}C$ while that in bottled juices increased a little rapid. pH change in canned and bottled juices during storage below $40^{\circ}C$ was not observed regardless of container type but a great change of pH was accompanied with swelling of container ends in the case of canned juices after 24 weeks at $50^{\circ}C$.
