Popis: A comparative evaluation of the use of thermal, microwave and irradiation treatments for pasteurization of ready to serve watermelon juice was undertaken to study their relative impact on residual enzyme (polyphenol oxidase and peroxidase) activities microbial population, and sensorial changes during its refrigerated storage for a period of three months. Pasteurization using thermal and microwave treatments could effectively control the microbial load within the acceptable limit (
