Moderate Electric Fields application as a biotechnological tool in food processing

View document

Bibliographic Details
Summary:[Excerpt] Moderate Electric Fields (MEF) provide a uniform, rapid and energetically very efficient means of processing foods (mostly by heat). This has been known for over a century and has finally found its place among food processors, as MEF industrial equipments are being installed worldwide in growing numbers and in a variety of applications. This happened after technological issues such as electrode corrosion and adequate temperature and power control systems were solved. [...]
