Abstract

Thermal treatment of liquid foods inactivates micro-organisms and enzymes to ensure safety and prolong shelf-life. Ohmic heating technology offers promising advantages over conventional heating, such as rapid volumetric temperature rise and possible non-thermal inactivation effects. This work aims to compare ohmic and conventional heating technologies for the inactivation of peroxidase (POD) and polyphenol oxidase (PPO) in green coconut water and of pectinmethyl esterase (PME) in orange juice. After preliminary tests, small samples of coconut water and orange juice will be heated by conventional means and by Joule effect, seeking to achieve similar time-temperature profiles across both technologies. Residual enzymatic activity will be assayed by spectrophotometric methods. Iterative fitting assessment of different mathematical models for enzyme inactivation, considering non-isothermal time-temperature profiles and one-step global regressions, will allow to adequately compare treatments and seek evidences of non-thermal effects due to the electric current. Stochastic methods will estimate the model parameters' uncertainty to provide reliable predictions of the residual activities for given process conditions. (AU)
