ON AEROBIC MICROORGANISMS COUNT, BETANIN CONTENT, AND PHENOLIC CONTENT OF 200ML BOTTLED BEETROOT EXTRACT

Abstract

The study focused on investigating the high-temperature pasteurization process on aerobic microorganisms, betanin content and phenolic content of 200ml bottled beetroot extract to select the pasteurization mode (15-15-15)/85^oC and the betanin content (mg/100ml) obtained was 4.096 ± 0.075 , 3.863 ± 0.049 c , 3.789 ± 0.065 d , respectively; and phenolic content (mg galic/100ml) was 19.257 ± 0.407 a , 17.452 ± 0.374 , and 15.883±0.289 d , respectively, during the stabilized time of 0 days, 7 days, 10 days, and 15 days. b a , 3.939 ± 0.057 , 16.919 ± 0.298 c b
