2.2. Treatments
Processing conditions were chosen based on preliminary
experiments to simulate a pasteurization treatment (Benlloch-
Tinoco, Pina-Pérez, Martínez-Aguirre, Rodrigo, & Martínez-
Navarrete, 2012). The treatments selected inactivated 90% of
peroxidase enzyme and reduced more than 5 log10 cycles of the
most important pathogenic microorganism (Listeria monocytogenes)
(data not shown). These data correspond to the global
inactivation achieved in the samples. Three replicates of each
treatment were run
