Industrial relevance: Vegetable juices are becoming more and more popular because of their wide range of healthrelated
compounds. Particularly, broccoli juice is attracting the food industry attention because it contains high
amounts of vitamins, carotenoids and phenolic compounds, among other bioactive compounds. Broccoli juice requires
treatment conditions that protect its microbial, nutritional and sensorial quality. HIPEF is a non-thermal
technology for liquid food preservation that inactivates microorganisms and enzymes without compromising
the nutritional and sensorial features of foods. Consequently, this technology could be used in the food industry
as an alternative for thermal treatment to preserve the bioactive compounds present in vegetable juices, offering
to consumers a healthy product
