Microbial and enzymatic changes in natural soursop puree during storage

Microbial and enzymatic comparisons were made on natural soursop puree stored at 15, 4 and -20°C without pasteurisation and with pasteurisation at 79°C for 69 s. Results showed that pasteurisation caused significant decrease in microbial count in soursop puree from 6.4x103 to 8.5x101 cfu per g. Gene...

description Microbial and enzymatic comparisons were made on natural soursop puree stored at 15, 4 and -20°C without pasteurisation and with pasteurisation at 79°C for 69 s. Results showed that pasteurisation caused significant decrease in microbial count in soursop puree from 6.4x103 to 8.5x101 cfu per g. Generally, storage at -20°C exhibited greater stability of samples as compared to those kept at 4 and 15°C. In contrast to microbial reduction, pasteurisation caused significant increase in cloud from 0.318 to 0.529 and completely inactivated the pectinesterase enzyme. The puree packed into foils kept at 4°C exhibited decreased cloud loss as compared to others packed in cans and bottles kept at 15 and -20°C. No pectinesterase enzyme regeneration was observed for pasteurised puree in this study during 12 weeks of storage time.
