Exploring non-thermal techniques to transform the quality dynamics of fruit puree: a comprehensive review.
Review in Food science and biotechnology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Conventional thermal treatments reduce microbial and enzymatic activity but degrade the inherent quality of the fruit puree. In contrast, non-thermal treatments, including high-pressure processing (HPP), pulsed electric field (PEF), ultrasonication (US), irradiation, and cold plasma (CP) provide better quality retention and safety. In this review, the advantages, limitations, and the effect of these treatments on microbial and enzyme activity, vitamin C content, bioactive compounds, physiochemical and rheological properties of fruit puree have been discussed. HPP proficiently diminished microbial populations and enzymatic activity. PEF and US are particularly effective in enhancing the retention and bioaccessibility of bioactive compounds, whereas CP contributes to the stabilization of antioxidant properties. Also, the current applications, scaling up of systems, and the challenges involved in technology transfer to commercial scale are highlighted. Collectively, these advanced technologies guarantee the production of safe, stable, and high-quality fruit purees while mitigating the nutrient degradation typically linked to thermal processing.
