Abstract

The values for thermal inactivation of pectinesterase in mandarin orange juice were F197.5 = 1.00 (Z = 194) and D197.5 = 0.54 min (Z = 20.6) at pH 3.6, and F201.5 = 1.00 (Z = 17) and D201.5 = 0.438 min (Z = 18.2) at pH 4.0. The F values were equivalent to 1.85 D at pH 3.6 and 2.28 D at pH 4.0. F is the thermal inactivation time (min) at a given temp. ( degree F), D is the decimal reduction time and Z is the number of degree F required for the inactivation or reduction time temp. curve to traverse one log cycle. A 2 D process at pH 3.6 and 2.5 D process at pH 4.0 are recommended in the commercial pasteurization of juice. A viscosity procedure described is more sensitive than the jelly test for determining the thermal inactivation of pectinesterase.
