Abstract
Stevia rebaudiana bartoni due to its high content in steviol glycosides and the ability to serve as a natural antimicrobial to complement the effectiveness of pulsed electric technologies for food preservation, has been used more frequently to improve sensorial properties of liquid foods.
Nevertheless, it remains unknown how steviol glycosides stability is effected after foodstuff is treated by pulse electric treatments and ultrasounds technology. In order to explore this issue, four steviol glycoside were identified and analyzed in an exotic fruit juice blend sweetened with stevia before and after pulsed electric fields (PEF), high voltage electrical discharges (HVED) and ultrasounds (USN) treatments at two equivalent energy inputs (32 and 256 k J/kg ).
The analysis revealed that all the factors had a significant influence in the changes of steviol glycosides (stevioside, rebaudioside A, rebaoudioside F rebaoudioside C) content, although the extent of changes was different.
