Abstract
AbstractBACKGROUND: This work aimed to assess peach juice clarification using enzymatic treatment. The enzymatic hydrolysis was performed to reduce the juice viscosity and pulp content, and consequently to increase juice extraction. The hydrolysis conditions were optimized by the response surface methodology, where the influence of temperature, amount and type of enzyme and time of reaction were investigated.RESULTS: Two commercial pectinase preparations (AFP L3 and ULTRA SP WOP from Novozymes) as well as a cellulase (R10 from Onozuka) were tested. The hydrolysis using Pectinex AFP L3 (Novozymes) at 25 °C for 60 min presented the best results of pulp (48%) and viscosity (68%) reduction.CONCLUSION: Physical and chemical analyses showed that the enzymatic treatment is effective for reduction of peach pulp viscosity, pulp content and turbidity and does not influence other juice parameters such as pH, total acidity, vitamin C and soluble solids.
