This new book covers contemporary pulsed electric field processing techniques for food preservation, an emerging technique that has certain advantages over conventional thermal food processing techniques. Nonthermal PEF produces fresh-like food without affecting the sensory and nutritional properties of food. This volume explores and provides in-depth knowledge and understanding of the pulsed electric field and its applications. It introduces the role of nonthermal technology in novel food product development for ensuring the quality of food products and covers the applications of the technology in fruits and vegetables; in egg, meat, and poultry products; in milk products; and in cereals, legumes, and oilseeds.
