Abstract

Non-thermal emerging technologies applied to processing of food products have been considered as a trend in the development of new functional products. Conventional thermal methods for pasteurizing and sterilizing food are based on heat transfer, however, thermal processing promotes the reduction of functionality in foods due to degradation of heat-sensitive compounds such as vitamins, antioxidants, proteins and others. In this context, non-thermal and innovative processing technologies such as supercritical carbon dioxide technology (SCO2T) and high-pressure processing (HPP) are promising treatments that can be employed in the production of functional products. Therefore, the aim of this project is to compare the effects of SCO2T and HPP on the non-thermal processing of a functional beverage, xylo-oligosaccharide-enriched apple juice, and to evaluate the molecular stability of xylo-oligosaccharide subjected to different process conditions using both emerging technologies proposed. In addition, the influence of process operational parameters (pressure and temperature) on the microbiological, enzymatic and physicochemical quality of the functional beverage will be studied. (AU)
