Evaluation of antimutagenic activity of pressurized (pascalized) and pasteurized cauliflower juice

This work is dealing with testing of antimutagenic activity of cauliflower juice processed by heat (100 deg C for 10 min), by high pressure 400 MPa for 10 min (25 deg C) and frozen (fresh juice). The results showed that the frozen and pressurized juices preserved almost all their antimutagenic activ...

Description
Summary:This work is dealing with testing of antimutagenic activity of cauliflower juice processed by heat (100 deg C for 10 min), by high pressure 400 MPa for 10 min (25 deg C) and frozen (fresh juice). The results showed that the frozen and pressurized juices preserved almost all their antimutagenic activity against very strong mutagen IQ (2-amino-3-methylimidazo[45a]quinoline), while pasteurized juice decreased sharplz its activity. The pressurization seems to be a very important process for prolonging the shelf life of vegetable juices with preserved antimutagenic activity capable to decrease the risk of cancer occurrence in the population.
