Abstract
Cold brew coffee is a beverage prepared at low temperatures, usually consumed immediately after preparation or after a short storage period due to its short shelf life. Different technologies are required to increase the shelf life without affecting its sensory and functional properties. In this work, the effect of ultraviolet light (UV-C) treatment on the shelf life of cold brew coffee was studied. The physicochemical characteristics, polyphenolic content by Folin–Ciocalteu method, chlorogenic acids contents by RP-HPLC analysis, and selected volatile compounds by HS-SPME and GC–MS were studied for 28 days, at 4°C and 18°C storage temperatures. Applying UV-C to selected samples stored at 4°C extended the microbiological shelf life from up to 14 days compared to less than 7 days for samples without treatment. The samples treated with UV-C presented total polyphenol content around 1.6 times higher than the controls and chlorogenic acid content around 1.4 times higher than controls on day 14. No significant differences were observed in most of the volatile compositions among the different samples. Thus, UV-C technology is a promising non-thermal alternative to extend the shelf life of cold-brewed coffee.

Official Journal of the European Federation of Chemical Engineering:
Part C
FBP aims to be the principal international journal for publication of high quality, original papers in the branches of engineering and science dedicated to the safe processing of biological products. It is the only journal to exploit the synergy between biotechnology, bioprocessing and food engineering.
Papers showing how research results can be used in engineering design, and accounts of experimental or theoretical research work bringing new perspectives to established principles, highlighting unsolved problems or indicating directions for future research, are particularly welcome. Contributions that deal with new developments in equipment or processes and that can be given quantitative expression are encouraged. The journal is especially interested in papers that extend the boundaries of food and bioproducts processing.
The journal has a strong emphasis on the interface between engineering and food or bioproducts. Papers that are not likely to be published are those:
• Primarily concerned with food formulation
• That use experimental design techniques to obtain response surfaces but gain little insight from them
• That are empirical and ignore established mechanistic models, e.g., empirical drying curves
• That are primarily concerned about sensory evaluation and colour
• Concern the extraction, encapsulation and/or antioxidant activity of a specific biological material without providing insight that could be applied to a similar but different material,
• Containing only chemical analyses of biological materials.
