Abstract
Physicochemical properties of a blend of 10% Aloe vera gel with 5% pitaya juice subjected to UV-C doses of 16.5, 27.7, and 40 mJ/cm2 were evaluated at pH 3.5 and 5.5. Unprocessed treatments were used as the control. The a* color parameter decreased and luminosity increased at pH 3.5. The decrease in the reddish color was consistent with the decrease in total betalains content and stabilized at pH 5.5. The NMR analyses of UV-C treatments showed changes in betalains signal patterns. Polyphenolics content was significantly reduced in the UV-C treatments at pH 5.5. UV-C processing decreased the antioxidant activity 1.25 times compared to unprocessed treatments. Total sugar content was reduced as the UV-C dose increased. Doses above 16.5 mJ/cm2 resulted in a higher simple sugar content at a pH 3.5. The UV-C continuous flow technology can be applied to stabilize betalains in Aloe vera–pitaya blends at a UV-C dose of 16.5 mJ/cm2 and pH 5.5.
