Abstract
In this study, carrot juice was treated with high voltage pulsed electric fields (PEF) and the changes in its physical and chemical properties during storage at $4^{\circ}C$ and $25^{\circ}C$ were investigated. The sterility fur bacteria, yeast and mold in carrot juice increased with increasing electric field strength and treatment temperature. While yeast and mold were completely inactivated at 65kV/cm with a treatment time of $200{\mu}s$ in a continuous PEF treatment system, bacteria were reduced by four log cycles. The results also showed that square wave pulse treatment was more effective for inactivating microorganisms than exponential decay pulse, and this effect was more apparent for carrot juice of lower pH. Although we observed significant changes in physical and chemical properties such as soluble solid content, pH, acidity, color, and carotene retention when the PEF treated samples were stored at the ambient temperature $(20^{\circ}C)$, no significant physical and chemical changes were found at the cold storage temperature $(4^{\circ}C)$ during 28 days of storage. The results indicate that the PEF treated carrot juice is appropriate for commercial refrigerated storage.
