Juice samples pressed from "Jonadel" apple cultivars were heat treated 80, 90, 100 and 110 centigrade for 10, 20 and 40 minutes, resp. The patulin mycotoxin concentration as a function of temperature and time of heat treatment and pH was determined by thin-layer chromatography (AOAC, 1975). In the frame of serial tests, the heat decomposition curves of patulin were plotted and evaluated. The decimation of patulin concentration at pH=3.3, 110 centigrade required 31 minutes, while the "z" value was 42.4 centigrade. Slight changes in pH (pH= 2.8-4.2) did not effect the decomposition rate of patulin. In the 1:1 mixture of apple and orange juice, the decomposition of patulin accelerated, probably due to the high sulfhydryl content in orange juice.
