Abstract
In principle, high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) processing offers the possibility to preserve berry products while affecting their volatile components less than heat pasteurization. Therefore, we performed preliminary investigations to compare effects of HHP treatment (600 MPa, 5 min, at ambient temperature) and heat pasteurization (80 °C, 5 min) on volatile composition of raspberry, strawberry and blackcurrant purees measured by ‘electronic nose’ at 25 °C. Changes in the head space volatiles could be monitored by this method. Taking into account the confusion matrix of the discriminant analysis, heat-treatment had a more significant effect on volatile compounds than HHP. So, application of HHP treatment can retain volatiles of berry products.
