Abstract

Summary Coconut water is an isotonic beverage naturally obtained from the green coconut. After extracted and exposed to air, it is rapidly degraded by enzymes peroxidase (POD) and polyphenoloxidase (PPO). To study the effect of thermal processing on coconut water enzymatic activity, batch process was conducted at three different temperatures, and at eight holding times. The residual activity values suggest the presence of two isoenzymes with different thermal resistances, at least, and a two‐component first‐order model was considered to model the enzymatic inactivation parameters. The decimal reduction time at 86.9 °C (D86.9 °C) determined were 6.0 s and 11.3 min for PPO heat labile and heat resistant fractions, respectively, with average z‐value = 5.6 °C (temperature difference required for tenfold change in D). For POD, D86.9 °C = 8.6 s (z = 3.4 °C) for the heat labile fraction was obtained and D86.9 °C = 26.3 min (z = 6.7 °C) for the heat resistant one.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The presence of polyphenols and O-quinones in these forms of coconut water is indicated by the resultant yellow colour.

    “In these forms of coconut water, the presence of polyphenols and O-quinones, is indicated by the resultant yellow colour; These are formed by the reactions of hydroxylated amino acids, catalysed by the innate heat stable polyphenol oxidases and pereoxidases and by free radicals, in the presence of oxygen [20].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
