Processing of tomato juice can result in amodification of its consistency and a decrease of its viscosity due to the activity of enzymessuch as pectinmethylesterase (PME), polygalacturonase (PG). Peroxidase (POD) catalyzesoxidation reactions related to the production of undesirable flavours and colours. The mainobjective of this work was to study the effect of the HPCD technology on tomato juice. Theinfluence of HPCD process parameters such as pressure (8.5 - 20 MPa) and temperature (35 and 45 ºC) on the inactivation kinetics of PME, PG and POD and physical parameters such aspH and particle size distribution was evaluated. Results showed that increasing pressure andtemperature decreased the residual activity of the enzymes evaluated. The results obtainedshowed a higher efficiency of the HPCD technology regarding the high pressure processing(HPP) technology since the pressure required to achieve enzymatic inactivation by HPCD (8.5– 20 MPa) are well below the pressure required by HPP (600-800 MPa) for the same purpose.HPCD technology uses much softer processing conditions that modify the tomato juice to alesser extent and achieve a greater degree of enzymatic inactivation. The tomato juice pHvalue (4.1 ± 0.1) did not change significantly (p ≤ 0.05) before and after HPCD treatment.The particle size distribution (PSD) of the tomato juice was bimodal, with a particle diameterthat shifted towards lower sizes after HPCD treatment, indicating that homogenization isfavoured by this treatment.
