Abstract
ABSTRACT: Apple and orange juices packed in polyester bottles were stored in dark, intense fluorescent (1500 lux), and UV light conditions in temperature‐controlled (22 °C) chambers and monitored more than 7 mo for ascorbic acid content and color changes. Polyester beverage bottles were made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), or PET blended with 0.25%, 1%, and 4% polyethylene naphthalate (PEN). The cut‐off wavelength ranged from 322 nm for PET to 373 nm for the 4% PEN/PET blend. Spectral irradiance, visible light intensity, and light distribution were evaluated in the light chambers and compared with supermarket display lighting and outdoor daylight conditions. Only the UV chamber and sunlight showed significant irradiance at wavelengths below 400 nm. Ascorbic acid (AA) degradation and concurrent color changes occurred in both juices during storage in all 3 lighting conditions and in all 4 bottle types. Zero‐order reaction kinetics described the AA degradation rate for all treatments. Apple juice stored in UV had a significantly higher ( P < 0.05) AA degradation rate than juice stored in the dark or in fluorescent light. Under UV conditions, apple juice in PET/ PEN bottles had a lower AA degradation rate than the juice in PET bottles. AA degradation in orange juice was less affected by UV exposure than in apple juice. Both juices darkened over time when stored in dark and fluorescent conditions, whereas UV exposure caused some initial bleaching of color before darkening. The bleaching effect was reduced in apple juice stored in the PET/PEN bottles.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
