Strawberry juices (SJ) were treated with ultrasound, vanillin and pomegranate extract.
An optimum treatment (OT) was obtained through response surface methodology.
OT was applied to SJ to evaluate nutritional, sensory and microbial quality through storage.
OT was also tested against Escherichia coli inoculated in SJ.
OT significantly reduced microflora of SJ without affecting its sensory parameters.
