Pulsed electric field device
Pulsed electric field (PEF) is applied to food by applying high voltage pulses in the range of 20 to 80 kW/cm.
And it reduces the amount of microorganisms that cause adverse changes in the sensory properties of food.
PEF is applied in a period of less than a second and at normal heat, and the energy and nutritional value of food is not lost due to heating.
PEF technology is better than food processing using heat;
Because it reduces or prevents adverse changes and physical and chemical spoilage of food.
This device has various uses, including the following:
Non-thermal pasteurization of liquid food
Clarification of juices
Extraction of effective substances of plants and food
Electroporation
