摘要

Ohmic pasteurization allows electricity to pass through a V-shaped conductive package (CP) and internally heat the food contents at a rapid rate. This study evaluated the effect of ohmic heating (OH) incorporated with a CP on the microbial inactivation and antioxidant activities of the green curry paste. OH treatment was applied to both CP and non-conductive package (non-CP) samples and compared to non-CP samples subjected to conventional heat treatment (CT). Two packages were submerged in the heating medium and pasteurized at 90 °C for 2, 5 or 10 min. OH of the CP had the shortest come-up time of 2.5 min followed by OH of the non-CP (5.8 min) and CT of the non-CP (9.5 min). More significant microbial inactivation and less color difference using OH of the CP were observed compared to the other treatments with identical holding times of 2 min. The highest values of total phenolics and FRAP along with no significant difference in DPPH were observed for OH of the CP. This is coupled with a 50% reduction in energy consumption and 74% decrease in come-up time. Ohmic pasteurization using the CP offered great potential to produce safe foods with higher quality and higher energy saving in a shorter time compared to CT.
