Thermal and nonthermal methods can support a 5-log CFU reduction of model bacteria introduced into tiger nut milk. Thermal treatment of tiger nut milk results in significant loss of protein, antioxidants, and quality properties. HHP or UV-C treatment of tiger nut milk retains quality and nutritional characteristics. HHP or UV-C are suitable for the pasteurization of tiger nut milk.
