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.

This new book provides an overview of ohmic heating as well as applications of ohmic heating techniques, the thermal processing method that uses alternating electrical currents in foods to give rapid and uniform heating throughout the product. Ohmic heating in food processing is an environmentally friendly process that can result in better product quality, less cooking time, lower capital cost, and higher energy efficiency. First providing an introduction to ohmic heating, the volume then presents in-depth knowledge and understanding of ohmic heating applications. Chapters cover the equipment and process design for ohmic heating systems, the effects of ohmic heating on food quality and microbial safety, and novel applications of ohmic heating in food processing. Several chapters address ohmic heating methods and issues in specific food groups, including milk and milk products, fruits and vegetables, and meats and meat products.
