The size of these outbreaks has ranged from 20 to over 800 victims, with case fatality rates of over 30% in some instances. • Concentrations of 6-27 mg/L have been measured in beer and 10-220 mg/L in spirits.

Pure App. Biosci. 7 (1): 463-468 (2019) Research Article Effect of Microwave Treatment on Physico-Chemical Quality of Coconut Neera Rajan Anbarasan1, Anandakumar S.2*, Gowri Sree V.2 and Loganathan M.1 1Indian Institute of Food Processing Technology (IIFPT), Thanjavur 2Division of High Voltage Engineering, Dept. of Electrical and Electronics Engg., College of Engineering Guindy, Anna University. Chennai. 25 *Corresponding Author E-mail: [email protected] Received: 5.01.2019 | Revised: 8.02.2019 | Accepted: 14.02.2019 ABSTRACT Coconut neera has many nutritional and medicinal values also rich in sugar content. It is highly susceptible to natural fermentation by Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Fermented neera is known as toddy which is an alcoholic beverage and produces off flavour and taste. In order to stop the fermentation, it is required to control the microbial growth in fresh neera. Among the different preservation methods microwave heat treatment has advantages of volumetric heating and higher penetration depth. Hence the present study was aimed to investigate the effect of microwave treatment at three different power levels of 520W, 720W and 900W and exposure time 3, 6 and 9 min on physico chemical parameters such as Weight loss, colour, pH, acidity, TSS, browning index, total phenolic content and reducing sugar. One way Anova was performed to identify the significant differences among the treatments. Higher power levels and exposure times significantly affect the quality of neera (p<0.05).
