In this study, the efficiency of high-pressure treatment (HHP, 250 - 450 MPa) with the combination of heat treatment (20 - 70oC) on peroxidase (POD) and lipoxygenase (LOX) inactivation in green beans, green peas and carrots was investigated for blanching purposes. Two steps treatments were also performed by pressurization at 250 MPa at 20°C for 15- 60 min and then by water blanching at 40-70°C. For green beans, 25 % residual activity was obtained by water blanching at 50°C for 15 min after the pressurization at 250 MPa for 60 min. The enzyme inactivation in green peas was 78 % with water blanching at 50oC for 30 min after holding at 250 MPa for 60 min. When the carrots were water blanched at 50°C for 30 min after HHP treatment at 250 MPa for 15min, 13 % residual activity was obtained. During the experiments, the stability gain or the activation of latent form of the enzymes were observed prior to inactivation. For carrots, LOX activity could not be measured. For green beans, 22 % LOX inactivation was obtained by holding at 250 MPa for 15 min and then by water blanching at 40°C for 5 min. For green peas, the multiple treatment of 250 MPa for 30 min and water blanching at 50°C for 30 min provided 70% inactivation. To obtain the enzyme inactivation higher than 90 % for blanching purposes, the pressure applied must be increased.

The efficiency of high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) with the combination of mild heat treatment on peroxidase (POD) and lipoxygenase (LOX) inactivation in carrots, green beans, and green peas was investigated. In the first part of the study, the samples were pressurized under 250-450 MPa at 20-50 degrees C for 15-60 min. In the second part, two steps treatments were performed as water blanching at 40-70 degrees C for 15 and 30 min after pressurization at 250 MPa and 20 degrees C for 15-60 min. Carrot POD was ...

PEROXIDASE AND LIPOXYGENASE INACTIVATION DURING BLANCHING OF GREEN BEANS GREEN PEAS AND CARROTS
GÜNEŞ, Benan; Bayındırlı, Alev (Elsevier BV, 1993-01-01)
Peroxidase and lipoxygenase inactivation and ascorbic acid retention were studied during water and microwave blanching of peas, green beans and carrots. A first order kinetic model was assumed to analyse thermal inactivation of enzyme systems which consist of heat labile and heat resistant fractions. Lipoxygenases and peroxidases were used as blanching indicator enzymes during the experiments. Ascorbic acid retention during blanching was higher in vegetables when lipoxygenases were selected as the indicator...
High hydrostatic pressure (hhp) applications in food science: a study on compression heating, microbial inactivation kinetics, pulsed pressure and high pressure carbon dioxide treatments
Buzrul, Sencer; Alpas, Hami; Department of Food Engineering (2008)
In this study the action of high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) on compression heating of liquid foods and pressure transmitting fluids, inactivation of Escherichia coli and Listeria innocua in different food media (milk and fruit juices), pulsed pressure and high pressure carbon dioxide treatments was investigated. The experimental results in this study allowed pointing out some important results: (i) The thermal effects of compression should be taken into account when HHP pasteurization processes are develope...
