Pulsed electric fields technology for the food industry : fundamentals and applications

Pulsed electric fields technology for the food industry : fundamentals and applications / Javier Raso [and 3 others], editors.

Among all nonthermal food processing technologies, high intensity pulsed electric fields (PEF) is one of the most appealing due to its short treatment times and reduced heating effects. Its capability to enhance extraction processes and to inactivate microorganisms at temperatures that do not cause...
