Microwave processing of stone fruits before juice extraction

Abstract

This article explores the possibility of using microwave processing technology to improve the process of extracting juice from stone fruits. The authors conducted experiments to determine the optimal microwave processing parameters, such as power, processing time and frequency, for each of the considered fruits. The effects of fruit temperature, humidity and initial sugar content on processing efficiency were also studied. The obtained results showed that the treatment with microwave energy before extracting the juice helps to increase the yield of juice and reduce the content of solid residues in the juice. The process of extracting juice from stone fruits can be improved through the use of microwave processing technology, which is an effective method. This is of practical importance for juice producers and consumers, who can receive a better and healthier product. The article also discusses the parameters of microwave processing, such as the power and time of exposure to waves, as well as the temperature of the raw material. Proper selection of processing parameters allows you to achieve the best results in terms of yield and quality of juice. In general, the use of microwave processing of stone fruits before juice extraction is an effective way to increase the yield and improve the quality of the juice. Choosing the right processing parameters is crucial to achieve the best results, as it is necessary to take into account the characteristics of each type of fruit.
