Abstract:

Hurdle technology is a food preservation approach that involves combining multiple preservation factors or hurdles to prevent the growth of microorganisms, enzymatic reactions, and other deteriorative processes in food. By employing several hurdles simultaneously, each set at sub-lethal levels, the overall effectiveness of preservation is enhanced. To enhance the microbial safety of clarified citrus juices by employing a combined treatment involving ultraviolet (UV) irradiation, ozone application, and light-emitting diode (LED) technology. Clarified citrus juices, known for their susceptibility to microbial contamination, pose challenges in maintaining microbial safety while preserving their fresh attributes. In this research, a multi-hurdle strategy was implemented, harnessing the synergistic effects of UV, ozone, and LED treatments. The UV component of the process aims to disrupt the DNA structure of microorganisms, hindering their ability to replicate. Simultaneously, ozone, a powerful oxidizing agent, contributes to the elimination of pathogenic microorganisms and spoilage agents. The incorporation of LED technology enhances the microbial reduction process by providing targeted light wavelengths that further contribute to microbial inactivation.
