Produced water management is a significant challenge for the oil and gas industry. Due to the large volumes and complex composition of this water, treatment requires special attention, resulting in high costs for companies in the sector. Naphthenic acids, known for their recalcitrance, add a layer of complexity to the treatment process.

UV-C light is an alternative for preserving clear fruit-based drinks, replacing existing thermal treatments that degrade product quality and are ineffective against some microorganisms, including Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris, a spoiling agent of concern in the juice sector. Texturizing agents are essential since consumers' preferences for these products strongly depend on the mouthfeel. However, the complexity of the treated texturized system may have an essential influence on UV-C effectiveness.

Background: Consumers are seeking healthier alternatives to traditional confectioneries. They value the use of sugar replacers, more natural ingredients and/or environmentally friendly preservation technologies. UV-C light is considered an emerging alternative to thermal pasteurization that leaves no residue and requires minimal energy.

The aim of this study was to evaluate a hurdle strategy for orange-tangerine (OT) and orange-banana-mango-kiwi-strawberry (OBMKS) juices processing based on UV-C treatment assisted or not by mild heat and the addition of natural antimicrobials. Vanillin and citral emulsions were successfully encapsulated using maltodextrin and HI-CAP (5,18,3) and characterized. The susceptibility of Lactobacillus plantarum ATCC 8014, Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae KE 162 to binary mixtures of the encapsulated agents was examined in culture media according to the Berenbaum experimental design.

Consumer growing demands for high-quality and safe food and beverages have stimulated the interest in alternative preservation technologies. Short-wavelength ultraviolet light (UV-C, 254 nm) has proven to be useful for the decontamination of a great variety of clear juices while improving their quality compared to traditional thermal treatments. Suspended solids and coloured compounds in turbid juices, diminish light transmission.
