Abstract
This study investigated the antibacterial effect of ultrasound (US) combined with Litsea cubeba essential oil nanoemulsion (LEON) on Salmonella Typhimurium in kiwifruit juice and effect on the quality and sensory properties of kiwifruit juice. In this study, LEON prepared by ultrasonic emulsification method had a good particle size distribution and high stability. The US+LEON treatment significantly (P < 0.05) improved antibacterial efficacy, compared to the control, and would not destroy the nutritional components containing ascorbic acid, flavonoids, total phenol and total soluble solids. Meanwhile, US+LEON treatment enhanced 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2, 2′-azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6 sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radical scavenging capacity and ferric ion reducing antioxidant power (FRAP). In terms of sensory properties, US and LEON had a significant (P < 0.05) effect on the odor and overall morphology of kiwifruit juice. The enhance of antibacterial efficacy and the retention of nutrients by combined treatments shows that US+LEON is a promising antibacterial method that will provide new ideas for the processing and safety of fruit juices, and the US parameters and LEON concentration should be adjusted to reduce the effect on food sensory properties in future studies.
