The effect of pressure treatments of 100 and 200MPa (10 and 20min) and thermal blanching at 70°C, 80°C and 98°C (1 and 2.5min), on green and red sweet bell peppers was compared. Pressure treated peppers showed a lower reduction on soluble protein and ascorbic acid contents (red peppers presented even an increased content of ascorbic acid of about 15-20%). Peroxidase (POD) and pectin methylesterase (PME) (whose ...
Industrially, bell peppers are usually fiozen, after being thermally blanched, to be consumed in salads after thawing. However, texture tend to decrease after this process. Therefore, several thermal (55°C) and thermalhigh-pressure (200MPa, 25°C and 55°C) pre-treatments, with and without calcium (0.50%, wlv) addition, were studied for their possible effect on texture improvement of green bell peppers. The tempe...

At atmospheric pressure, purified pepper PME starts to inactivate at temperatures higher than 54°C. But when mild temperaturelhigh-pressure treatments are applied (T254"C, P<300MPa), an antagonistic effect of pressure and temperature is observed. Pressure seems to wield a protective effect on heat inactivation. Within the thermallhigh-pressure domain investigated, maximal pepper PME activity in the presence of ...

Pectin methylesterase (PME) from green bell peppers (Capsicum annuum) was extracted and purified. Isothermal inactivation of purified pepper PME at pH 7.5 could be described by a fractional conversion model for lower temperatures (55-57°C) and a biphasic model for higher temperatures (58-70°C).
In a case study on white beans, the e ect of rotation on the statistical variability of heat penetration parameters and on the nonuniformity of lethality in industrial-scale retort processing was investigated. In addition, the in¯uence of process time on the nonuniformity of lethality was evaluated. No clear relation between the non-uniformity of the heating parameters and the rotational speed was observed. Rot...
