Popis: This research evaluated the infuence of high-intensity pulsed electric felds (HIPEF) parameters, electric feld strength (15–35 kV/cm), treatment time (500–2000 μs) and polarity (monopolar or bipolar mode) on minerals and free amino acids content of broccoli juice. Additionally, HIPEF-processed broccoli juice was compared with thermally treated (90 °C/60 s) and untreated juices. In general, HIPEF parameters signifcantly infuenced the content of minerals and free amino acids, except Cu, S, P, Trp, Ala, His, and Tyr, which were not infuenced by electric feld strength, treatment time and/or polarity. At the strongest HIPEF conditions (35 kV/cm for 2000 μs) in bipolar mode, an increment or not signifcant changes in the mineral content in comparison to fresh broccoli juice was observed. Iron (214.2%), manganesus (117.7%) and zinc (148.4%) were the minerals with the greatest relative augment. While, the highest amino acid retention was histidine (159.3%), and lysine (157.8%). Increment in mineral content was associated to electrode corrosion; while the increase in amino acid content was related to the increment in the activity of enzymes associated with their biosynthesis. Changes in the content of free amino acids depended on HIPEF treatment conditions applied and the amino acid evaluated. Signifcant losses of minerals and free amino acids were reached after thermal processing of broccoli juice. Overall, HIPEF-treated broccoli juice had superior mineral and free amino acids content than those thermally treated.
