Ultraviolet-C treatment Freshly squeezed Chokanan mango juice was exposed to UV-C light (for 15, 30 and 60 min at 25◦C) and thermally pasteurized (at 90◦C for 60 s) to compare the effect on microbial inactivation, physicochemical properties, antioxidant activities and other quality parameters. After UV-C treatment and thermal pasteurization enhancement of antioxidant activity was observed after UV-C treatment. Thermal pasteurization and UV-C treatment exhibited significant reduction in microbial load and prolonged shelf-life of juice.
