Microbial inactivation and shelf life of apple juice treated with high pressure carbon dioxide
نویسندگان
چکیده
Apple juice prepared from 'Annurca' apple puree was treated with a HPCD batch system. The pH, degrees Brix, color parameters and microbial load of the treated apple juice were compared with those of thermally processed juice. Thermal processes were carried out at 35, 50, 65, 85 degrees C and treatment times ranging between 10 and 140 minutes. Microbial inactivation kinetics indicated that 5-log reduction of natural flora in apple juice was achieved at 85 degrees C and 60 minutes of treatment time for conventional thermal process and at 16.0 MPa, 60 degrees C and 40 minutes for HPCD process. Results suggested that temperature played a fundamental role on HPCD treatment efficiency, with inactivation significantly enhanced when it increased from 35 to 60 degrees C. Less significant was the role of the pressure at the tested levels of 7.0, 13.0 and 16.0 MPa. Also, 5-log reduction of natural flora in apple juice was obtained at lower temperatures by cyclic treatments of six compression and decompression steps. There were no significant differences between treated and untreated samples in degrees Brix (alpha = 0.05). Significant differences were detected in pH values between the untreated and HPCD treated samples (alpha = 0.05). There was a significant decrease in 'L*' and 'b*' values and also differences were detected in 'a*' values between the untreated and the HPCD treated samples (alpha = 0.05). Statistical analysis for degrees Brix, pH and color data showed no differences between the untreated and HPCD treated samples in the first 2 weeks of storage at 4 degrees C. These results emphasize the potential use of HPCD in industrial applications.

Effects of a Combined Process of High-Pressure Carbon Dioxide and High Hydrostatic Pressure on the Quality of Carrot Juice
A combined treatment of high-pressure carbon dioxide (HPCD) and high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) was investigated as a non-thermal processing technique to enhance the safety and shelf life of carrot juice. Aerobes were completely inactivated by a combined treatment of 4.90 MPa-HPCD and 300 MPa-HHP. A combined treatment of 4.90 MPa-HPCD and 600 MPa-HHP effectively inactivated enzymes. The residua...

A kinetic study of post processing quality loss was conducted after high pressure processing (600 MPa, 40 8C, 4 min) or thermal pasteurisation (80 8C, 60 s) of fresh Navel orange juice. Selection of processing conditions was mainly based on pectin methylesterase inactivation. Ascorbic acid loss, colour, viscosity and sensory characteristics were measured during storage at different isothermal c...
متن کاملEffect of high pressure homogenization on Saccharomyces cerevisiae inactivation and physico-chemical features in apricot and carrot juices.
This experimental work aimed to evaluate the potential of high pressure homogenization (HPH) to inactivate Saccharomyces cerevisiae 635 inoculated both in apricot and carrot juices. The sensitivity of the yeast was evaluated both in relation to its initial inoculum level (about 3.0 and 6.0 Log(10) cfu/ml) and number of passes applied at 100 MPa. Moreover, the effects of repeated pressure treatm...
