Abstract

AbstractPulsed light (PL) pasteurization is being explored as a substitute for the conventional thermal pasteurization of juices in recent times due to better retention of nutrients and overall quality. However, the long‐term stability of the PL‐pasteurized juice must be investigated to promote its application by the industry. The effect of PL treatment (effective fluence of 1.15 J·cm−2) and thermal treatment (90°C for 60 s) on microbial quality, enzyme activity, bioactive compounds, sensory acceptance, and color profile of table grape juice during storage at 4 and 25°C was investigated in this study. The PL pasteurization enhanced the microbial shelf‐life of the juice (<6 log10cfu·mL−1) from 5 to 35 days at 4°C. The PL and thermally‐pasteurized juice demonstrated a shelf‐life of only 10 days when stored at 25°C. The total soluble solids and titratable acidity did not alter significantly throughout the storage period. The peroxidase, polyphenol oxidase, and pectin methylesterase activities were below 10% for the PL and thermally‐treated beverage when stored at 4°C. The sensory acceptability of the PL‐pasteurized juice after 35 days of refrigerated storage (6.9 ± 0.3) was close to the untreated juice (7.2 ± 0.3) and greater than thermally‐treated juice (6.2 ± 0.2). After the 35th day of storage at 4°C, PL‐treated grape juice retained 55%, 12%, and 15.3% more phenolics, flavonoids, and antioxidant capacity, respectively, than the thermally‐pasteurized juice. Hence, PL pasteurization can effectively prolong the shelf‐life of table grape juice while achieving microbial and enzymatic stability, along with high sensory and nutritional appeal.Practical ApplicationExploring non‐thermal methods like pulsed light (PL) pasteurization as a substitute for conventional thermal methods is gaining recognition for its ability to retain nutrients and improve overall juice quality. However, the industry's adoption depends on understanding the shelf‐stability of PL‐pasteurized juice. This study specifically investigates the practical applications of PL treatment in comparison with conventional thermal treatment in enhancing microbial safety and enzymatic stability in table grape juice. The findings contribute insights into optimizing the shelf life of table grape juice and preserving its quality, supported by microbial, enzymatic, and sensory evaluations.
