Effects of conventional and microwave heating pasteurization on physiochemical properties of pomelo (Citrus maxima) juice was evaluated. Microwave heating pasteurization shows less effect on pH, reducing sugar, ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) content, and total phenolic contents in compare to conventional pasteurization. Microwave heating pasteurization reduces tannin and naringin content more in compare to conventional pasteurization.
Effects of Conventional and
TreatmentsConventional pasteurization (CP): Freshly prepared juice was filtered and poured into sterilized bottles and then heated at 90°C by using thermostatic water bath and maintain the temperature of juice 90°C for 15 seconds. Pasteurized juice was cooled to room temperature in a cooling water bath and was stored in a refrigerator at 4 ± 1°C.
Microwave heating pasteurization (MHP):Juice was heated at 90°C by using microwave and cooled to room temperature in a cooling water bath and was stored in a refrigerator at 4 ± 1°C.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
