Abstract

The coconut inflorescence sap, also known as coconut neera, is a low glycemic index beverage, susceptible to rapid fermentation from the time of its extraction. Coconut neera was subjected to pulsed light (PL) processing at different treatment conditions, viz., number of pulses (50, 100, 150), sample-source distance (4, 7, 10 cm), and sample depth (5, 10, 15 mm). The retort processing (RP) of coconut neera was conducted at different combinations of temperature–time (70–90 °C; 15–25 min). The PL processed coconut neera exhibited less impact on the physicochemical and bioactive compounds, while significant ascorbic acid losses (up to 28%) were observed at intense treatment conditions. On the other hand, the RP samples showed significant colour degradation (E* > 3.0) and loss of ascorbic acid (up to 64%). The PL processing effectively reduced the microbial load (total bacterial count, yeast, and mould count) by up to 6 log cycles as against 8 log cycle reduction in case of RP samples. The optimized process condition for PL processing was 150 pulses/5 mm sample thickness/7 cm sample-source distance, while the corresponding condition for RP was found to be 82 °C/19 min. The optimally processed RP (retort pouch) samples had a shelf life of 25 days, while that of PL (PET bottles) treated samples was limited to 20 days, under refrigerated storage conditions. The outcomes from this study demonstrate the efficacy of PL in attaining microbially stable, superior-quality coconut neera with the potential for enhanced shelf life.

期刊介绍: Food and Bioprocess Technology provides an effective and timely platform for cutting-edge high quality original papers in the engineering and science of all types of food processing technologies, from the original food supply source to the consumer’s dinner table. It aims to be a leading international journal for the multidisciplinary agri-food research community. The journal focuses especially on experimental or theoretical research findings that have the potential for helping the agri-food industry to improve process efficiency, enhance product quality and, extend shelf-life of fresh and processed agri-food products. The editors present critical reviews on new perspectives to established processes, innovative and emerging technologies, and trends and future research in food and bioproducts processing. The journal also publishes short communications for rapidly disseminating preliminary results, letters to the Editor on recent developments and controversy, and book reviews.
