Investigation on the effect of thermal sterilization versus non-thermal sterilization on the quality parameters of jujube juice fermented by Lactobacillus plantarum.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to evaluate the jujube juice treated by four different sterilization treatments as substrates for producing a probiotic beverage fermented by Lactobacillus plantarum (L. plantarum): sterilization by autoclaving (SA at 0.1 MPa,121 °C, and 20 min), pasteurization (PS at 85 °C/30 min), cold plasma sterilization (CPS at 700 W/120 s) and pulsed strong light sterilization (PLS at 1.0 Hz, 600 J, and 10 times), while jujube juice without sterilization treatment used as control (CK). The results showed that the growth ability of L. plantarum in jujube juice was not affected by different sterilization treatments. After SA and PS treatment, the particle size of jujube juice increased by 440.51% and 222.29%, respectively, and the reducing sugar content decreased by 33.83
