Summary: Optimization of high pressure processing (HPP) of sea buckthorn juice was carried out regarding total aerobic bacteria (TAB) and activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD, EC 1.15.1.1) using response surface methodology (RSM). The optimized HPP condition of 500 MPa for 6 min reduced TAB by over 3 log CFU·ml-1 and increased the SOD activity of the juice. Effects of HPP at optimum conditions on the quality of the juice were compared with high-temperature short time (HTST) processing (100 °C for 15 s). TAB counts in the juice were decreased by 3.26 log CFU·ml-1 and 2.28 log CFU·ml-1 by 500 MPa for 6 min and HTST, respectively, while yeasts and moulds were not detected. Moreover, HPP increased the activity of SOD by 17.1 %, and did not change concentrations of vitamin C, total phenols, caro­tenoids and the antioxidant capacity of the juice. In contrast, HTST decreased the activity of SOD by 48.9 %, concentration of vitamin C by 14.3 % and the antioxidant capacity, and increased concentration of total phenols by 6.6 %. Meanwhile, HPP had no influence on sugars and colour of the juice, while HTST decreased concentration of saccharose and changed the juice colour. HPP could be applied for processing of sea buckthorn juice to gain a product of high quality and higher SOD activity.
