Pulsed Electric Field Processing in Food Technology

Pulsed electric field (PEF) processing is a emerging method of food preservation that uses short bursts of electricity for microbial inactivation (cell-lysis) and causes minimal or no detrimental effect on food quality attributes. PEF can be used for processing liquid and semiliquid food products.

The use of supercritical fluid extraction technology in food processing

New food processing technologies: from foraging to farming to food technology.

The ‘daily bread’ for over six billion people today is largely derived from plant sources. The history of plant use reaches back uninterrupted to our earliest hominid ancestors. There is a long tradition of regarding the origins of agriculture (Hannery, 1973) as an important stage in the development of human society. Whilst acknowledging its significance, an equally profound revolution has pass...

The humerus is often used to assess skeletal health in laying hens. It usually contains an airsac in the central cavity, but studies have demonstrated that the humeri of some hens do contain medullary bone. This study used radiographs to compare the incidence of increased radiodensity in the central cavity of humeri between lines of highproducing non-commercial laying hens. Hens of six lines (n...
