Resumo
O suco de laranja é o suco de fruta mais popular e mais consumido em todo mundo. O Brasil é o maior produtor e exportador mundial de suco de laranja. O consumo de suco de laranja é estimado em mais de 9 bilhões de litros por ano, representando 47% do consumo mundial de suco. A fim de aumentar a vida de prateleira e a estabilidade do suco de laranja, a tecnologia de alta pressão hidrostática (APH) pode ser utilizada como um método alternativo à pasteurização. Este trabalho teve como objetivo otimizar as condições de processamento do suco de laranja da variedade Pêra Rio por APH, pressão (100- 600 MPa), temperatura (30-60 °C) e tempo (30-360 s), avaliar o efeito das condições do processamento de APH no ácido ascórbico e na atividade antioxidante do suco de laranja e avaliar a qualidade do suco de laranja processado a 520 MPa, 60 °C por 360 s, comparativamente ao suco pasteurizado e não processado. A metodologia de superfície de resposta foi empregada para estimar a redução da atividade da enzima pectinametilesterase (PME), da contagem de microrganismos, do ácido ascórbico e da atividade antioxidante no suco de laranja processado por APH. Também foram avaliados, as características físico-químicas, a cor instrumental, os compostos fenólicos e a atividade antioxidante do suco de laranja. O aumento da pressão, temperatura e tempo reduziram a atividade da PME e a contagem de microrganismos, exceto pela região entre 170 a 310 MPa, 30 a 45 °C e 30 a 150 s, que aumentou a atividade da PME. A faixa ótima de processamento por APH foi 550 a 600 MPa, 55 a 60 °C e 330 a 360 s, sendo capaz de produzir suco de laranja com população de microrganismos de menos de 2 ciclos logarítmicos de UFC/mL e atividade residual da PME menor que 20%. Ainda, o aumento da temperature e do tempo do processamento por APH reduziu o teor de ácido ascórbico...
Orange juice is the most popular and consumed fruit juice in the world. Brazil is the main orange juice world producer and exporter. The consumption of orange juice is estimated at more than 9 billion liters per year, which represents 47% of global fruit juice consumption. In order to improve orange juice shelf life and stability, high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) processing can be used as an alternative to pasteurization. The aim of this work was to optimize the HHP processing conditions of Pêra Rio orange juice, namely pressure (100-600 MPa), temperature (30-60 °C) and time (30-360 s), to evaluate the effect of HHP processing conditions on ascorbic acid and antioxidant activity of orange juice and to evaluate the quality of orange juice processed at 520 MPa, 60 °C for 260 s in comparison to pasteurized and non processed orange juice. Response surface methodology was used to estimate the decrease of microflora, pectinmethyl esterase (PME) activity, ascorbic acid and antioxidant activity in HHP processed Pêra Rio orange juice. The physicalchemical characteristics, the instrumental color, the total phenolic compounds and the antioxidant activity of orange juice were also evaluate. The increase in pressure, temperature and time reduced the PME activity and native microflora of orange juice, except at the region between 170 to 310 MPa, 30 to 45 °C and 30 to 150 s, which enhanced PME activity. The range of optimum HHP processing conditions were 550 to 600 MPa, 55 to 60 °C and 330 to 360 s, which was able to produce a stable orange juice with microorganisms population less than 2 log cycles CFU/mL and PME residual activity less than 20%. The increase in time and temperature of HHP exert influence on the reduction of ascorbic acid and antioxidant activity on orange juice... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)
