Pomegranate is packed with healthy antioxidants and vitamins. Treating pomegranate juice with OptiCEPT® – lets you extract even more of these health-boosting phytochemicals. Tag along and we show you how – in this juice of the week video we treat pomegranate!
The pomegranate tree or shrub is a hard-headed one. Extremely long-lived, with some specimens surviving for 200 years. Perhaps the tree’s own ability for longevity has something to do with the many health benefits that the fruits contain.
Pomegranate contains over 100 phytochemicals and has 3 times more antioxidants than red wine and green tea.
Pomegranate juice has long been a popular drink in Europe and the Middle East, nowadays also widely distributed in the United States and Canada.
Global distribution means challenges when it comes to shelf-life, extending it often means pasteurization – giving the juice a longer life span but also destroying much of its rich content. The antioxidants and vitamins are degraded during processing and pasteurization.
Treating pomegranate juice with OptiCEPT® erases this dilemma.
Watch the video with OptiCepts senior process engineer, Ivo Achu Nges, explaining the results made in the lab!
” When treating pomegranate juice with OptiCEPT® we managed to enhance the total amount of polyphenols by 40 %. Moreover – enhanced dissolved sugars (Brix) by about 35 % and increased release of intracellular content or ions. Hence increase the conductivity by over 11 %.”
Anthocyanins can be a real boost for your health – antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, anti-viral and anti-cancer.
In this blog post, we’ll explore the obstacles faced by juice producers and delve into how PEF technology could revolutionize the industry, enabling more producers to deliver the high-quality juices that health-conscious consumers crave.
Can PEF (pulsed electric field) technology help boost Cranberry juice production? Experimental lab studies show it might have a great impact.
We’ve signed an agreement with Coca-Cola Beverage Company Shanghai for a collaboration where Coca-Cola will evaluate JuiceCeptTM during the summer for extraction of cold brewed green tea.
