Changes in the polyphenol profile of tomato juices processed by pulsed electric fields
The effect of pulsed electric fields on the polyphenol profile of tomato juices was studied. First, tomatoes were subjected to moderate-intensity pulsed electric fields (MIPEFs) and then were immediately refrigerated at 4 °C for 24 h. Treated and untreated juices were then subjected to high-intensit...

| Sumario: | The effect of pulsed electric fields on the polyphenol profile of tomato juices was studied. First, tomatoes were subjected to moderate-intensity pulsed electric fields (MIPEFs) and then were immediately refrigerated at 4 °C for 24 h. Treated and untreated juices were then subjected to high-intensity pulsed electric fields (HIPEFs) or thermal treatment (90 °C for 60 s). In comparison to references, tomatoes subjected to MIPEF treatments led to juices with a higher content of polyphenol compounds. A slight decrease in polyphenol compounds was observed over time in thermal- and HIPEF-treated juices, with the exception of caffeic acid. However, HIPEF-processed tomato juices had a higher content of polyphenol compounds (ferulic acid, caffeic-O-glucoside acid, p-coumaric acid, chlorogenic acid, rutin, and naringenin) just after processing and through storage than those thermally treated. Therefore, the combination of MIPEFs and HIPEFs could be proposed as a strategy for producing tomato juices with a higher content of phenolic compounds. |
