Quality comparison of carrot juices processed by high-pressure processing and high-temperature short-time processing

The effects of high-pressure processing (HPP) at 550 MPa for 6 min and of high-temperature short-time (HTST) processing at 110 °C for 8.6 s on carrot juice were evaluated. After HPP and HTST, the total plate count (TPC) was found to significantly decrease by 4.30 and 4.88 log₁₀ CFU/mL, respectively, and yeasts and molds (Y&M) were completely inactive. HPP-treated juice showed higher carotenoids, polyphenols, antioxidant capacity, viscosity, turbidity, and lower browning degrees (BDs) than HTST-treated juice, while HTST-treated juice contained higher polyacetylenes. HPP provided a more fresh-like quality and exhibited better aroma, taste, and overall acceptability. During 20 days of storage at 4 °C, both HPP- and HTST-treated juices were microbiologically safe (i.e., TPC < 2.4 log₁₀ CFU/mL, and Y&M were not detected), and their antioxidant capacities decreased linearly due to a decrease in carotenoid and polyphenol contents. The two juices did not precipitate any solids when their particle sizes decreased, and their viscosity increased; however, their organoleptic properties deteriorated as storage time increased.Industrial RelevanceThis study was intended to develop fresher and more stable carrot juice, which is not available on the market now. Acid blanching for a proper time was proved as an effective process in preventing juice serum isolation phenomenon of HPP juice, which is more likely to be accepted by consumers. HPP-treated juice had an advantage in nutritional and organoleptic properties than HTST-treated juice. This study provided a comprehensive technical support for novel application of HPP in carrot juice processing.     

Evaluation of hybrid pressure-driven and osmotically-driven membrane process for non-thermal production of apple juice concentrate

This study investigates the potential of hybrid membrane processes including microfiltration (MF), ultrafiltration (UF) and forward osmosis (FO) for non-thermal concentration of apple juice. The process performance and characteristics (physicochemical properties, nutritional and aroma components and microbiological quality) of apple juice were studied. The clarity of apple juice was significantly promoted as pore size of membrane reduced. MF and UF can also ensure microbiological safety in pre-treated apple juice. According to its efficiency of filtration as well as performance of simultaneous clarification and cold-sterilization, 0.22 μm MF membrane was identified as the optimal membrane for the pre-treatment. The pre-treated apple juice can be concentrated up to 65°Brix by subsequent single stage FO. FO retained nutritional and volatile compounds of apple juice while significant reductions were found in the juice concentrated by vacuum evaporation. Hybrid MF-FO can be a promising non-thermal technology to produce apple juice concentrate with high quality.     

Quality of Banana Puree During Storage: a Comparison of High Pressure Processing and Thermal Pasteurization Methods

The quality features of banana puree after high pressure processing (HPP) at 500 MPa for 10 min and thermal pasteurization (TP) at 90 °C for 2 min during 30 days of refrigerated storage were compared in this study. Initial counts in banana puree of greater than 3.80 log colony-forming units (CFU)/g of total aerobic bacteria (TAB) and 3.10 log CFU/g of molds and yeasts (M&Y) were reduced by HPP and TP. TAB were approximately 1.0 CFU/g, and M&Y were less than 0.3 log CFU/g in HPP- and TP-processed puree during storage. HPP and TP did not change pH, titratable acidity (TA), total soluble solids (TSS), lightness (L), and yellowness (b), total phenolic content (TPC), and antioxidant capacity (AC), but HPP raised redness (a) and TP reduced a and ascorbic acid (AA). During storage, L, a, and b in HPP- and TP-processed purees did not change but HPP-processed puree increased pH and decreased TA. After storage, the percentage of TPC and AA was 75.85 and 55.09 % in the HPP group and 96.30 and 68.09 % in the TP group, indicating a significant loss of TPC and a greater loss of AA in HPP-processed puree. The loss of AC agreed with the loss of AA and TPC. HPP preserved particle size distribution and viscosity of purees, whereas TP increased the number of smaller particles and viscosity after processing and in storage. Twenty-six volatiles (18 esters) and 22 volatiles (15 esters) were detected in HPP- and TP-processed purees, and the ester fraction was 69.79 and 52.36 %, respectively. HPP was found to be an effective alternative pasteurization method for preserving the quality of fresh banana puree.     

APPLE JUICE QUALITY AS INFLUENCED BY ULTRAFILTRATION

Objective quality of ultrafiltered (UF) apple juice compared favorably to apple juice filtered by conventional plate and frame filtration (PF). Agtron red and green values were higher for the UF juice, indicating a lighter colored product. Agtron green values were lower after 4 months of storage and compared well to juice from conventional methods over the remaining 8 months of storage. Green color of the UF juice remained steady at storage temperatures of either 1° or 21°C and was equal to the color values of the conventional juice stored at 1°, 21° or 32°. Clarity of the UF juice was excellent and remained stable over the entire storage period at either 1 or 21° with only a slight drop in clarity at 32°. UF juice was rated significantly lower in sensory flavor than PF juice. Sensory color of the UF juice was not rated as high as the PF juice at the start of the study, but as time in storage progressed sensory color improved. Initial panel reaction to UF apple juice was that the UF juice was too light in color and watery in flavor.     

Comparing the impact of high pressure,pulsed electric field and thermal pasteurization on quality attributes of cloudy apple juice using targeted and untargeted analyses

The impact of low-oxygen spiral-filter press technology combined with thermal pasteurization (TP), pulsed electric field (PEF) and high pressure processing (HPP) on cloudy apple juice quality was investigated immediately after the treatments and after 3 weeks of storage at 4 °C. Based on equivalent levels of microbial safety and desired shelf-life, low and high processing intensities were selected: TP (72 °C/15 s; 85 °C/30 s), PEF (12.5 kV/cm, 76.4 kJ/L; 12.3 kV/cm, 132.5 kJ/L), and HPP (400 MPa/3 min; 600 MPa/3 min). High intensity thermal treatment resulted in a bright, yellowish color which was maintained during storage. PPO and POD activities were largely reduced by high intensity PEF and TP yet showed high resistance to HPP. The highest vitamin C content was provided by fresh juice followed by PEF-treated juices. Due to oxidative degradation reactions, vitamin C of all treated samples significantly decreased during storage. Immediately after processing, high cloud stability values were obtained in all samples; however, cloud stability decreased during storage particularly for HPP juices with high residual PME. No significant changes were observed in pH, titratable acidity, organic acid and sugar content which also corresponded to sweet and sour taste. Results from untargeted volatile profiles showed that esters increased after PEF and were better retained after HPP. Contrary to TP treatment where ester degradation reactions occurred together with the formation of off-flavors. Most of the volatiles decreased during storage which could be linked to oxidation and ester hydrolysis reactions.Industrial relevanceBeing one of the most popular fruit juices consumed worldwide, cloudy apple juice can still undergo quality changes such as color degradation, cloud loss (fast sedimentation) and flavor changes during processing and storage. This study evaluates the potential of low-oxygen spiral-filter press in combination with different preservation technologies to obtain a maximal quality of cloudy apple juice. Results showed that high intensity thermal pasteurization can effectively inactivate quality-degrading enzymes, therefore it is useful to obtain an optimal cloudy apple juice product in terms of color and cloud stability. Although HPP has minimal impact on aroma of the juice, shelf-life of the juice may be limited due to incomplete enzyme inactivation. In the case of PEF treatment, thermal effects may contribute to maintain apple juice quality.     

超高压和高温短时杀菌对樱桃汁品质的影响

比较了超高压(high pressure processing,HPP,550 MPa/2 min)和高温短时(high temperature short time,HTST,95 ℃/15 s)杀菌对樱桃汁中微生物、总酚、维生素C、花色苷、抗氧化能力以及感官品质的影响,并分析了4 ℃贮藏樱桃汁品质变化。结果表明:樱桃汁经过HPP和HTST杀菌后细菌总数小于100 CFU/mL、霉菌和酵母菌未检出,两者对樱桃汁均具有较好的杀菌效果;两种方式杀菌后樱桃汁中绿原酸和矢车菊素-3-芸香糖苷含量显著降低(p<0.05),HPP樱桃汁中绿原酸与矢车菊素-3-芸香糖苷保留率分别为95.4%±8.0%和77.7%±13.8%,显著高于HTST樱桃汁(p<0.05)。HPP对樱桃汁果胶、总酚、维生素C、天竺葵素-3,5二葡萄糖苷含量无影响,儿茶酚含量提高了4.6%;HTST降低了樱桃汁果胶、总酚、儿茶酚、维生素C、天竺葵素-3,5二葡萄糖苷的含量;两种果汁抗氧化能力无显著变化(p>0.05)。HPP樱桃汁在香气、滋味、颜色方面比HTST樱桃汁具有更好的感官品质。4 ℃冷藏期间,两种樱桃汁中细菌总数缓慢升高,但霉菌与酵母菌仍未检出;HPP樱桃汁中总酚、绿原酸、儿茶酚、维生素C、矢车菊素-3-芸香糖苷含量以及抗氧化能力均高于HTST樱桃汁。因此,HPP樱桃汁保持了更好的品质。     

Effects of Thermal and High-pressure Treatments on the Microbiological,Nutritional and Sensory Quality of a Multi-fruit Smoothie

Fruit juices have become an important product for the healthy food world. In the last 5 years, the sales of industrial juices treated by non-thermal preservation technologies such as high-pressure processing (HPP) have strongly increased. In the present study, the effect of the application of two stabilization treatments, mild heating (MH; 80 °C for 7 min) and high-pressure processing (HPP; 350 MPa for 5 min), on multi-fruit smoothies was compared on a wide range of quality parameters immediately after treatment and during a refrigerated storage of 21 days. From the physico-chemical and instrumental colour point of view, immediately after treatment, HPP smoothies were more similar to the fresh product than those treated by MH. During storage, the colour of MH smoothies was more stable although HPP ones showed lower browning index and viscosity more similar to the untreated product. Additionally, HPP provided smoothies with better sensory properties and higher nutritional quality than MH. In general, HPP smoothies were more similar to the untreated product. However, HPP smoothies kept a residual enzyme activity which is likely to limit the shelf life of this multi-fruit smoothie.     

Comparison of High Hydrostatic Pressure,High-PressureCarbon Dioxide and High-Temperature Short-Time Processing on Quality of Mulberry Juice

Changes of microbial, physicochemical and sensory properties of mulberry juice processed by high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) (500 MPa/5 min), high-pressure carbon dioxide (HPCD) (15 MPa/55 °C/10 min), and high-temperature short time (HTST) (110 °C/8.6 s) during 28 days of storage at 4 °C and 25 °C were investigated. Total aerobic bacteria (TAB) and yeast and mold (Y&M) were not detected in HHP-treated and HTST-treated mulberry juices for 28 days at 4 °C and 25 °C, but were detected more than 2 log₁₀ CFU/ml in HPCD-treated mulberry juice for 21 days at 4 °C and 14 days at 25 °C, respectively. Total anthocyanins were retained after HHP and reduced by 4 % after HTST while increased by 11 % after HPCD. Total phenols were retained by HHP, while increased by 4 % after HTST and 16 % after HPCD. The antioxidant capacity was retained by HTST and HHP and increased by HPCD. Both total phenols and antioxidant capacity were decreased during the initial 14 days but then increased up to 28 days regardless of storage temperature. The value of polymeric color and browning index decreased and a* increased in HHP-treated and HPCD-treated mulberry juices, while HTST-treated mulberry juice had a reverse result. The viscosity of mulberry juice increased in HHP-treated and HPCD-treated juices, while decreased in HTST-treated juice. During storage, total anthocyanins, total phenols, and antioxidant capacity and color in all mulberry juices decreased more largely at 25 °C than that at 4 °C. Better quality was observed in HHP- and HPCD-treated mulberry juices, and a longer shelf life was observed in HHP-treated samples compared to HPCD-treated ones.     

Effects of ultrafiltration combined with high-pressure processing,ultrasound and heat treatments on the quality of a blueberry–grape–pineapple–cantaloupe juice blend

This study investigated the effect of ultrafiltration (UF) combined with high-pressure processing (HPP) at 550 MPa, 25 °C for 5 min, ultrasound (US) at 520 W, 40 °C for 10 min and heat treatment (HT) at 90 °C for 3 min on the microbial, physicochemical and sensory properties of a blueberry–grape–pineapple–cantaloupe juice blend during 104 days of storage at 4 °C. After UF, the shelf life of the HPP- and US-treated clear juice blends were 104 and 72 days during the storage at 4 °C respectively. HPP, US and HT treatment minimally affected the anthocyanin and total phenol contents, while HPP better maintained the ascorbic acid levels and sensory properties in the clear juice blend during the storage. Therefore, HPP combined with UF was identified as a prospective processing technique in the fruit juice industry.     

超高压和高温短时杀菌对NFC橙汁品质的影响

本文对比了超高压（Ultral high pressure processing,HPP,600 MPa,1 min）和高温短时（High temperature short time,HTST,110℃,8.6 s）杀菌处理对非浓缩还原（Not from concentrate,NFC）橙汁处理前后及4℃、25 d贮藏期内微生物、基本理化指标以及颜色、稳定性、生物活性成分、抗氧化活性等品质的影响,并在贮藏期末对杀菌橙汁进行了感官评价。结果表明,HPP和HTST处理后NFC橙汁菌落总数、霉菌和酵母菌、乳酸菌、嗜冷菌均降低至检测限以下（<10 CFU/mL）,储藏25 d后HPP处理橙汁微生物仍未检出,符合国家果蔬汁饮料行业标准《NY/T 434-2016》,而HTST处理橙汁在贮藏期末菌落总数和霉菌酵母数量开始增加。HPP处理对橙汁色泽的L^*、b^*值无显著影响（P>0.05）,使a^*值显著增大（P<0.05）,总色差ΔE低于HTST处理。HPP处理对橙汁悬浮稳定性的保持和果胶甲基酯酶（Pectin methylesterase,PME）的钝化效果较差,处理后HPP组和HTST组PME残留活性分别为92.31%和14.42%,贮藏末期分别为30.77%和0.03%,贮藏期间HPP组悬浮稳定性下降了95.45%。HPP处理显著提高了NFC橙汁的总酚含量13.50%（P<0.05）,对维生素C含量、DPPH自由基清除能力、FRAP铁离子还原能力、综合感官评价无显著影响（P>0.05）,显著高于HTST处理橙汁（P<0.05）。综上所述,HPP处理有助于保持橙汁的营养和感官品质,保留新鲜风味,比HTST处理更具优势,但对PME酶的钝化效果有待提高。     

Inactivation of apple (Malus domestica Borkh) polyphenol oxidases by radio frequency combined with pulsed electric field treatment

Radio frequency (RF) preprocessing combined with pulsed electric field (PEF) processing was employed to inactivate polyphenol oxidase (PPO) in apple juice. PPO enzyme levels, loss of total phenolic content (TPC), colours and volatile components in the apple juice were subsequently determined and compared with conventional processing methods (60 °C for 10 min and 70 °C for 10 min). Results indicated that, when the apple tissue was preprocessed using RF for 10 min, the residual activity of PPO decreased to 13.57%; when the squeezed juice was processed by PEF, the residual activity decreased to about 5% at 15–35 kV cm^?1 for 400 μs. RF treatment caused no significant loss in TPC. Compared with the conventionally processed samples, the apple juice that was RF‐treated for 10 min and PEF‐treated at 15 kV cm^?1 for 400 μs increased its lightness and maintained its fresh‐like flavour.     

Quality assurance in pepper and orange juice blend treated by high pressure processing and high temperature short time

The impact of mixing ratio of pepper juice/orange juice (v/v) at 1:5, 1:2, 1:1, 1:0.5 and 1:0.2 on sensory attributes of pepper and orange juice blend (POJB) was studied, and the ratio of 1:0.5 achieved the highest ratings in mouthfeel and overall acceptability and was chosen for the following study. Effects of high pressure processing (HPP, 550 MPa, 5 min, ambient temperature) and high temperature short time (HTST, 110 °C, 8.6 s) on quality attributes of the POJBs were compared. Reduction of total aerobic bacteria (TAB) and molds and yeasts (M&Y) in the POJBs was > 4 log cycles after HPP and HTST, and the two POJBs were microbiologically safe during the whole refrigerated storage. The color, flavor, appearance, mouthfeel and overall acceptability of HPP-treated POJB were closer to untreated POJB than the HTST-treated one. After 25 days, 77.3% and 75.3% of total phenols content, 90.8% and 90.7% of ascorbic acid, and more than 80% of antioxidant capacity in two POJBs were retained, respectively. Particle size distribution (PSD) of HPP-treated POJB was consistent with untreated POJB (1 ~ 76 μm, 3 peaks at 4.2, 17, 52 μm), while HTST changed the PSD (1 to 33 μm, 2 peaks at 2.4 and 17 μm). Higher level of sedimentation in HPP-treated POJB during storage was interpreted by higher residual PME activity (67.0%) and larger and more unstable pulp particles. The POJBs behaved as Newtonian fluids, their viscosity right after processing were ranked as HPP > untreated > HTST, and the values were slightly reduced during storage.Industrial RelevanceThis study was intended to develop yellow sweet pepper and orange juice blend (POJB), which are not available on the market. Further this study was also intended to explore the application of high pressure processing (HPP) and high temperature short time (HTST) on quality assurance of the POJB. This study would provide technical support for commercialization of juice blend products treated by high pressure.     

Quality Changes in Mango Juice Treated by High-Intensity Pulsed Electric Fields Throughout the Storage

The effect of high-intensity pulsed electric fields (HIPEF) processes on Listeria innocua inhibition, physicochemical parameters and activity of oxidative enzymes of mango juice was evaluated to set the optimal HIPEF treatment time. Quality parameters, microbial population and bioactive compounds of HIPEF-treated (35 kV/cm, 1800 μs) and thermally treated (TT) (90 °C, 60 s) mango juices were studied and compared with those non-treated during 75 days of storage at 4 °C. HIPEF treatment for 800 μs ensured 5 log reductions of L. innocua. Polyphenoloxidase (PPO), lipoxygenase (LOX) and peroxidase (POD) residual activities were significantly reduced to 70, 53 and 44%, respectively, at treatment times of 1800 μs. Similar sensory properties compared with fresh mango juice were attained from product treated at 1800 μs. Moreover, fresh mango juice colour (L* = 38.79, h° = 106.57) was preserved after HIPEF treatment throughout storage. Moulds and yeasts and psychrophilic bacteria counts in HIPEF-treated (1800 μs) mango juice remained below 6 log cycles CFU/mL up to 2 months of refrigerated storage. The content of total phenolic compounds in those HIPEF-treated increased from 333 to 683 μg of GAE/mL from day 0 to the end of storage. Hence, the application of HIPEF may be a feasible treatment in order to ensure microbiological stability, high bioactive compound content and fresh-like characteristics of mango juice.     

Effects of High-Pressure Processing on the Quality of Sea Bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) Fillets During Refrigerated Storage

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of high-pressure processing (HPP) on the quality of fresh sea bass fillets using two pressure levels (250 and 400 MPa; 5 min pressure holding time). Vacuum-packed fillets were used as control samples, and all fillets were stored under refrigerated conditions for 18 days. The microbiological, chemical, physical, and sensory parameters were followed. Both HPP treatments increased the microbiological shelf life of sea bass fillets. In day 14, control samples reached the upper acceptability limit (7 log colony-forming units (CFU)?g^?1), while fillets treated at 250 and 400 MPa had 3.2 and 1.4 log CFU g^?1, respectively. In general, hydrogen sulphide-producing bacteria and Enterobacteriaceae loads were below the detection limit in HPP treatments. Results from nucleotide analysis indicate that HPP treatments reduced the conversion of inosine 5′-monophosphate to inosine. HPP also influenced fillet sensory characteristics. The most evident changes in fillets were the increase in whiteness, the loss of translucency, and a firmer consistency. The effect was more pronounced in the treatment at 400 MPa. Lipid oxidation increased in HPP-treated samples, being more accentuated in the treatment at 400 MPa. Instrumental smell intensity increased in both HPP treatments, though the sensory panel did not detect any rancid or other unpleasant odours. No effect was observed in the amount of volatile bases or in pH values. In conclusion, HPP treatments showed potential application for new fish product development with increased microbiological safety and shelf life, longer freshness, and unique characteristics (e.g. firmer and whitish).     

Investigating consumers' perception of apple juice as affected by novel and conventional processing technologies

This work evaluates consumers' perception of apple juice processed by high pressure processing (HPP) and pulsed electric field (PEF) compared with thermal processing. As a case study, young Chinese immigrants living in New Zealand were selected. Targeting a broad understanding of process impact, three industrially relevant apple cultivars (New Zealand Jazz, Rose and Granny Smith) were chosen. The consumer study was performed using napping with ultra‐flash profiling technique (n = 38). The process impact on sensory perception seems to vary among the investigated apple cultivars. For Jazz and Granny Smith apple cultivars, PEF‐ and HPP‐treated juices are perceived as fresh, natural, sweet and balanced flavour. For Rose apple cultivar, however PEF‐processed juices appear to be perceived as fresh flavour in comparison with HPP and thermally treated juices. Moreover, thermal processing caused cooked flavour. With respect to colour, immediately after processing, HPP retains the natural apple juice colour compared with other treatments.     

Comparison of the effects of novel processing technologies and conventional thermal pasteurisation on the nutritional quality and aroma of Mandarin (Citrus unshiu) juice

Conventional thermal pasteurisation (90 °C and 30 s), high pressure processing (HPP: 600 MPa, 4 °C and 300 s), ultrasound processing (US: 50 °C, 750 W and 36 min) and microwave processing (MW: 800 W, 80 °C and 70 s) were evaluated by examining their effects on the sensory and nutritional qualities of mandarin juice. The treated samples had <2 log CFU/mL total aerobic bacteria, which is equivalent to microorganism inactivation. Sugar and acid components were almost constant for all the treated mandarin juices, and no differences between treatments were perceptible. However, the mandarin juice treated with novel technologies maintained better colour (L*, a* and b*), nutritional value (ascorbic acid, total phenolic, total carotenoid content and phenolic components) and aroma than the thermally pasteurised one. This study showed that US, MW and HPP are good novel processing techniques to inactivate microorganisms and maintain the sensory and nutritional quality of mandarin juice.     

UHP与HTST杀菌处理的猕猴桃NFC果汁贮藏期品质变化

通过比较不同杀菌处理(超高压 Ultra-high pressure,UHP和高温短时 High temperature short-time,HTST)的猕猴桃非浓缩还原汁(Not From Concentrate,NFC)贮藏期(4 ℃,4周)品质的变化,为明确NFC果汁产品杀菌方式提供理论依据。以海沃德猕猴桃为原料制备NFC果汁,利用化学、微生物学等方法及GC-MS手段研究了两种杀菌处理(UHP,400 MPa,15 min;HTST,95 ℃,30 s)的NFC猕猴桃汁贮藏期的理化与营养、微生物、抗氧化活性及香气物质的变化。结果表明,UHP与HTST杀菌的NFC果汁V_C与总糖含量分别减少为14.89%、18.96%和16.03%、18.62%;UHP处理贮藏期果汁的pH、可溶性固形物、总酸含量变化均较小,HTST杀菌的NFC猕猴桃果汁变色大于UHP。UHP与HTST处理的NFC果汁均有100%杀菌率,但贮藏期HTST杀菌NFC果汁微生物指标好于UHP处理。贮藏期UHP与HTST处理NFC果汁对DPPH、ABTS自由基的清除率下降,第4周分别为79%和74%、78%和74%。UHP处理后NFC果汁香气物质中醇类和酯类的种类和含量(4.75%,2.53%)降低,酮类和醛类物质的种类和含量(6.10%,27.38%)增加;HTST处理后醇类物质含量降低5.14%,种类增加;酮类、醛类物质的种类和含量(8.14%,26.39%)增加。试验说明UHP处理的猕猴桃NFC果汁在4 ℃贮藏3周其色泽、营养、香气与抗氧化活性的保留率高于HTST杀菌,最大限度地保持猕猴桃NFC果汁品质;该研究结果可为NFC果汁生产与货架期的确定提供试验依据。     

EFFECT OF SUPERCRITICAL CARBON DIOXIDE ON MICROBIAL POPULATIONS IN SINGLE STRENGTH ORANGE JUICE1

The effect of supercritical carbon dioxide on aerobic total plate count (TPC) of fresh-squeezed and quick-frozen single strength orange juice from Valencia oranges was studied. Orange juice was treated with SC CO₂ at different temperatures (35° to 60°C) and pressures (8.3 to 33.1 MPa). SC CO₂ treatment at 35°C reduced the TPC by 2 log cycles after 1 h treatment at 33 MPa. At 45°C and 33 MPa 2 log cycles reduction required 45 mins, and 15 mins treatment was sufficient at 60°C. D values of temperature control samples decreased as temperature increased, while that of supercritically treated juice decreased as pressure increased. D values at 35, 45 and 60°C of the supercritically treated juice at 33.1 MPa were calculated as 28, 22.6 and 12.7 min, respectively. The calculated values of z were 180°C, 167°C and 72°C at 8.3 MPa, 20.7 MPa and 33.1 MPa, respectively.
