Liberation and Micellarization of Carotenoids from Different Smoothies after Thermal and Ultrasound Treatments.
2019
The consumption of a varied diet rich in fruit and vegetables helps prevent and treat certain chronic diseases. The development of smoothies based on derivatives from fruit and vegetables rich in bioactive compounds can help increase the consumption of these foods, and therefore, contribute to the prevention of various health problems. However, during the processing of the fruit and vegetable smoothies, these properties may change. The elaboration of smoothies is based on fruits and vegetables rich in carotenoids: Carrot juice-papaya-mango (smoothie A) and carrot juice-pumpkin-mango (smoothie B). The objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of the application of different thermal t…
Fruit juice sonication: Implications on food safety and physicochemical and nutritional properties
2015
Abstract Over the last years, consumers are increasingly demanding for nutritious, healthy and fresh-like food products, with high organoleptic quality. Nowadays, emerging non-thermal technologies have raised great interest as a viable alternative to the conventional thermal methods, since they have minimal impact on sensorial and nutritional properties of fresh foods. Ultrasound (US) is one of these promising non-conventional processing technologies and it is especially suitable for preservation of fluid foods. US may be used alone or in combination with other preservation techniques, such as mild heat temperatures, high pressures and antimicrobials. Besides, data on inactivation of food m…
