This study found that HPP treatment at medium pressures can increase the extractable polyphenols in pumpkin samples. The total sugars in HPP-treated samples decrease with increasing pressure. The total amount of carotenoids is higher in samples treated at lower pressures and at 600 MPa. Significant changes were observed in some aldehydes, which increased after HPP application.
High pressure processing (HPP) is an attractive technology for the preservation of vegetables with health promoting properties such as pumpkins. In this study pumpkin cubes were treated at six different pressures (100 to 600 MPa) at 20 degrees C for 3 min. Polyphenols (extracted both with solvent and by squeezing the residual material), carotenoids, sugars, and volatiles were evaluated. HPP at medium pressures (200-400 MPa) resulted in higher number of extractable polyphenols. Total sugars in HPP-treated samples were overall declining with increasing pressure. The total amount of carotenoids was higher in samples treated at lower pressures (100-300 MPa) and in the one at 600 MPa compared to untreated ones. Regarding volatile compounds, significant changes were observed for some aldehydes that increase after HPP application. This study revealed that treatment with intermediate pressure could ensure a higher amount of availability of polyphenols, carotenoids, volatiles, and total sugars in pumpkin samples.
