Different Ohmic heating conditions (OH, 10, 100, and 1000 Hz at 25 V; 45, 60, and 80 V at 60 Hz) were assessed to manufacture whey-raspberry flavored beverages. The inhibition of α-glucosidase, α-amylase, and angiotensin-converting I enzymes, antioxidant capacity, fatty acid profile, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were determined. OH treated samples presented lower anthocyanins content than the conventional treatment (2.91 ± 0.23 mg/g), while the mild-intermediate conditions (10,100-Hz at 25 V and 45,60-V at 60 Hz) presented the highest chemical antioxidant activity when compared to the extreme processing conditions (1000 Hz-25 V and 80 V-60 Hz). OH led to an increase of 10% in both α-glucosidase (>99%) and α-amylase (≥70%). Among the VOCs, furfural and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, a major intermediate Maillard reaction product was found in all treatments. Overall, OH can be used in the processing of whey-flavored raspberry beverages.
