Impact of temperature on lethality of kiwifruit puree pasteurization by thermal and microwave processing
نویسندگان
چکیده
The use of pasteurization units (PU) as a measure of the lethal effect of processes was proposed with the aim of comparing conventional and novel thermal technologies. Kiwifruit puree was subjected to microwave (1000 and 900 W) and conventional (97 C) heating. Processing conditions of the treatments were chosen to simulate a pasteurization treatment. The temperature profiles of the samples during processing were recorded at different positions. The coldest and hottest spots of the product were identified and the associated PU numbers were calculated. A significantly (p < 0.05) higher thermal load was necessary in order to stabilize the kiwifruit puree under conventional (19.27 min) than microwave heating mode (0.003e8 min) at any of the conditions studied. The higher effectiveness of microwave heating could be attributed to non-thermal effects associated with this technology. 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

متن کاملChlorophylls and carotenoids of kiwifruit puree are affected similarly or less by microwave than by conventional heat processing and storage.
The impact of microwave (1000 W - 340 s) and conventional heat (97 °C - 30s) pasteurisation and storage (4, 10, 22 °C for up to 63 d) on total and individual carotenoids and chlorophylls in kiwifruit puree was evaluated. Bioaccessibility of carotenoids, before and after pasteurisation and storage, was also studied. Microwaves and conventional heating led to marked changes in the chlorophyll (42...
