This paper investigated the feasibility for pasteurizing
raw (100 %) pomegranate juice in a commercial scale
pulsed electric field (PEF) processing system. The juice was
processed at 35 and 38 kV/cm for 281 μs at 55 °C with a flow
rate of 100 L/h. Effect of PEF processing on microbial stability,
color, °Brix, pH, sediment, antioxidant activity, total phenolic
content, anthocyanin, and sensory properties after the
treatments and during storage at 4 °C for 12 weeks were
studied and compared to those of thermally processed juice.
PEF treatments significantly (p
