The effects of dynamic high-pressure microfluidization (DHPM at 400 MPa) and heat treatment (HT) on the microbial inactivation, quality parameters, and flavor components of not-from-concentrate (NFC) cucumber juice were investigated. Total aerobic bacteria, yeasts and molds were not detected in the 400 MPa-treated cucumber juice. Total phenolic content increased by 16.2% in the 400 MPa-treated cucumber juice compared to the control check (CK). The significant reduction in pulp particle size (volume peak decreasing from 100-1000 μm to 10-100 μm) and viscosity increased the stability of the cucumber juice while decreasing the fluid resistance during processing. HT decreased the ascorbic acid content by 25.9% ( < 0.05), while the decrease in ascorbic acid content was not significant after 400 MPa treatment. A total of 59 volatile aroma substances were identified by gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS), and a variety of characteristic aroma substances (i.e., valeraldehyde, ()-2-hexenal, ()-2-nonenal, and (,)-2,6-nonadienal, among others) were retained after treatment with 400 MPa. In this study, DHPM technology was innovatively applied to cucumber juice processing with the aim of providing a continuous non-thermal processing technology for the industrial production of cucumber juice. Our results provide a theoretical basis for the application of DHPM technology in cucumber juice production.
研究了动态高压微射流处理(400MPa 的 DHPM)和热处理(HT)对非浓缩还原(NFC)黄瓜汁微生物灭活、品质参数和风味成分的影响。在 400MPa 处理的黄瓜汁中未检测到总需氧菌、酵母菌和霉菌。与对照(CK)相比,400MPa 处理的黄瓜汁中总酚含量增加了 16.2%。果肉粒径显著减小(体积峰值从 100 - 1000μm 降至 10 - 100μm)且粘度增加,提高了黄瓜汁的稳定性,同时降低了加工过程中的流体阻力。热处理使抗坏血酸含量降低了 25.9%(P < 0.05),而 400MPa 处理后抗坏血酸含量的降低不显著。通过气相色谱 - 离子迁移谱(GC - IMS)共鉴定出 59 种挥发性香气物质,400MPa 处理后保留了多种特征香气物质(如戊醛、(±)-2 - 己烯醛、(±)-2 - 壬烯醛和(E,E)-2,6 - 壬二烯醛等)。本研究创新性地将 DHPM 技术应用于黄瓜汁加工,旨在为黄瓜汁的工业化生产提供一种连续的非热加工技术。我们的研究结果为 DHPM 技术在黄瓜汁生产中的应用提供了理论依据。
