Lipoxygenase plays a role in the off flavor production of tomatoes, while pectinesterase and polygalacturonase impact tomato texture. The purpose of this study was to determine HPP&#x2019;s ability to inactivate lipoxygenase, pectinesterase, and polygalacturonase in diced tomatoes. Processing conditions used were 400, 600, and 800 MPa for 1,3, and 5 minutes at 25&#xb0;C and 45&#xb0;C. The magnitude of applied pressure had a significant effect on inactivating lipoxygenase and polygalacturonase (p<0.05), and complete loss of activity occurred at 800 MPa. Pectin esterase was very resistant to pressure treatment, and certain pressure-time-temperature combinations produced activation of the enzyme. Percent soluble solids, pH, titratable acidity, and a/b values did not change significantly in the high pressure processed samples as compared to the control, but L values increased. Titratable acidity and pH were found to change, however, when comparing between different pressure treatments.</p> 1999 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1392909096 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1392909096 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
