Data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation. Significant differences within a column are indicated by different letters (p < 0.05). Control, untreated cantaloupe juice; 90 °C, treated at 90 °C for 3 min; 30 kV/cm, treated at 30 kV/cm for 400 μs; TP + 30 kV/cm, treated with 400 mg/kg tea polyphenols and then treated at 30 kV/cm for 400 μs; 20 kV/cm + 55 °C, treated at 20 kV/cm for 400 μs and then treated at 55 °C for 5 min.
