Pulsed electric field processing
'''Pulsed electric field (PEF) processing''' is a method for processing cells by means of brief pulses of a strong electric field. PEF holds potential as a type of low temperature alternative pasteurization process for sterilizing food products. In PEF processing a substance is placed between two electrodes then the pulsed electric field is applied. The electric field enlarges the pores of the cell membranes which kills the cells and releases their contents. PEF for food proces(contracted; show full)== Links ==
