Abstract

This study investigated the prospect of producing cloud-stable orange-based juice by combining high-pressure processing (HPP) with a natural kiwifruit pectin methylesterase inhibitor (PMEI) during chilled storage. Kiwifruit is rich in a PMEI, which greatly improves the cloud loss caused by the pectin methylesterase (PME) demethylation of pectin. The results show that the cloud loss of orange juice occurred after 3 days, while the orange–kiwifruit mixed juice and kiwifruit puree were cloud stable during 28 days’ storage. Although, the kiwifruit puree contained larger particles compared to the orange juice, its higher viscosity and solid-like behavior were dominant, improving the cloud stability of the juice systems. In addition, the particle size distribution and rheological properties were highly related to PME activity, PMEI activity, and pectin characterization. The kiwifruit PMEI showed higher resistance to HPP and storage time than PME. More water-solubilized pectin fractions with a high molecular mass were found in the kiwifruit puree, leading to its high viscosity and large particle size, but a more chelator-solubilized pectin fraction with a low esterification degree was observed in the orange juice, resulting in its cloud loss. In general, the outcome of this work provides a novel strategy to improve the cloud stability of orange-based juices using natural PMEIs and nonthermal processing technologies.
