#food processing technique

Pulsed electric field (PEF) processing is an efficient non-thermal food processing technique using short, high voltage pulses. These pulses induce poration of plant, animal and microbial cells, leading to cell disintegration and microbial inactivation.​

PEF processing is thought to be more environmentally friendly than conventional thermal food processing. Due of its immediate effects, such as lessening energy and water depletion, PEF technology has been considered a sustainable choice.​

Depending on the targeted meal and the application, the electroporation occurs once the biological cells are exposed to the applied voltage and the accompanying electric field over the necessary critical transmembrane
