Abstract

To obtain high-quality litchi juice concentrates before long-term frozen storage, vacuum concentration (VC) combined with liquid nitrogen spray quick freezing (NF) was used in this study. Litchi juice was treated with different combinations of concentrating (0.05 MPa, VC35/45/55/65 ℃) and quick freezing (NF-30/-50/-70/-90 ℃). Results showed that different combinations of VC and NF had a significant difference in the quality of concentrated juice. Treatments of VC35 ℃-NF-70 ℃(G3), VC45 ℃-NF-70 ℃(G7), and VC55 ℃-NF-90 ℃(G12) showed advantages in the protection of quality. For the G3 group, the color was the closest to the original juice, and the protection impact on soluble sugar was best. G7 treatment had the greatest effect on antioxidant capacity and vitamin C. The content of total phenols of the G12 group was the highest, compared with the G3 and G7 treatment groups, which increased by 110.02% and 36.34% respectively. The total sugar content of the G12 group was only 11.37% lower than that of the G3 group but was significantly higher than other groups except for G8. The antioxidant capacity of the G12 was only 9.73% lower than that of the G7 group and 48.82% higher than that of the G3. Vitamin C content in G12 was 8.20% and 89.54% lower than that in G3 and G7, respectively. For particle size value, there was no significant difference between G12 and G3, but G12 was significantly higher than G7 (54.46%). Combined with principal component and heatmap analysis, the results showed that G12 and G3 had particular advantages in protecting physical-chemical quality and flavor quality, respectively. Comprehensive analysis revealed that the concentrating temperature and quick-freezing temperature had a significant effect on the quality of concentrated litchi juice, and there was a remarkable coupling impact between them.
