Abstract | ||||
The aim of this study was to investigate the efficiency test of a laboratory scale of pulsed electric field (PEF) device, on strawberry juices treated in a batch system. strength was (18.5 kV/cm for 500 µs at 100 Hz) for 60 sec. or 90 seconds as alternative physical and non-thermal method compared with those of thermal traditional method of pasteurization used Indirect heating by double jacket suit at (90оC / 5 min) and unprocessed juice (Fresh juice) as a reference (Control) was studied in terms of effect of these treatments’ physico-chemical characteristics, (TSS, pH, acidity and color), ascorbic acid, microbial stability and shelf life, of treated strawberry juices. After treatments and whether storage at room temperature at (22°C ±3) for 45 days or in refrigerator at (4°C ±1) for 105 days. Pulsed electric field device subject of study was effective as thermal pasteurization not only to achieve microbial stability juices, but also to obtain juices with a high content of vitamin C like fresh, perfectly. | ||||
