Enhancing Industrial Processes by Pulsed Electric Fields
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pulsed Electric Field (PEF) processing works through the process of electroporation in cells – destroying the cell membranes through the application of short, very high voltage pulses across a liquid. PEF processing can also improve the performance of industrial processes such as the removal of water from sludge, or the extraction of oils, sugars, or starches from plants, because the ruptured cells release their intracellular liquids more easily into their

متن کاملConventional and Innovative Processing of Milk for Yogurt Manufacture; Development of Texture and Flavor: A Review
Milk and yogurt are important elements of the human diet, due to their high nutritional value and their appealing sensory properties. During milk processing (homogenization, pasteurization) and further yogurt manufacture (fermentation) physicochemical changes occur that affect the flavor and texture of these products while the development of standardized processes contributes to the development...
متن کاملDirected cell movement in pulsed electric fields.
Human granulocytes exposed to pulsed electric guiding fields were investigated. The trajectories were determined from digitized pictures (phase contrast). The basic results are: (i) No directed response was induced by pulsed electric guiding fields having a zero averaged field. (ii) A directed response was induced by pulsed electric guiding fields having a non-zero averaged field. (iii) The dir...
