Summary: The study found that apple-carrot juice blends treated with MTS showed higher antioxidant activity and no significant differences in TPC and antioxidant capacity compared to the control during storage. Additionally, MTS-treated samples showed better retention of trace elements compared to HTST-treated ones.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the impact of thermosonication on the overall quality of an orange-carrot juice blend during 22-day storage at 7 degrees C, compared to thermal treatment. Both ultrasound and thermal treatment maintained the quality parameters of untreated juice samples. Thermosonication improved the microbiological safety and sensorial acceptance of the juice blend, but further investigations are needed to enhance its microbial effect on this product.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of blanching, high-pressure processing (HPP), and their combination on the microbiological and chemical qualities, color, and antioxidant properties of carrot juice stored at 4 degrees C for 15 days. Blanching and HPP were effective in reducing the microbial counts in the juice, while HPP alone showed better results. Blanching/HPP combination provided extended shelf life by inhibiting changes in pH, acidity, and color. The total phenolic content and beta-carotene levels were higher in HPP samples compared to other groups.

Summary: This study demonstrates that ultrasound treatment can enhance the metabolism of Lactobacillus plantarum, increase the viability and antioxidant activity of fermented ginkgo kernel juice. Furthermore, ultrasound can improve cell membrane permeability, promote the metabolism of phenolic compounds, amino acids, and organic acids, and reduce the level of toxic substances, thus improving the nutritional value and flavor of ginkgo kernel juice.

Summary: This study investigates the effect of high hydrostatic pressure on microbial inactivation and physicochemical characteristics of carrot-orange juice blends. The results demonstrate that appropriate high pressure processing conditions can effectively inactivate L. innocua without significantly changing the nutritional content and quality attributes of the juice. High pressure processing can also effectively control the microbial growth in the blends and maintain their stability during storage.

Summary: This study aimed to optimize the ohmic heating parameters for carrot juice and compare its characteristics with thermally treated and fresh juice. The results showed that the optimized parameters of 17 V/cm electric field strength and 40 s processing time produced a carrot juice with better stability and suitability for consumption. Ohmic heating is considered a potential alternative to traditional pasteurization methods for preserving the nutritional value of food products.

Summary: A large amount of carrots are wasted daily worldwide due to not meeting shape and size standards, despite having the same nutritional characteristics as commercialized carrots. Carrot juice can be a great medium for producing functional foods with prebiotic compounds, such as fructooligosaccharides (FOS). This study evaluated the production of FOS in carrot juice using a fructosyltransferase enzyme from Aspergillus niger, which was produced through solid-state fermentation on carrot bagasse.
