Pulsed electric field and mild heating for milk processing: a review on recent advances.
2019
Pulsed electric field (PEF) treatment consists of exposing food to electrical fields between electrodes within a treatment chamber, which can improve the preservation of fresh-like products such as milk. Although several studies support the use of PEF technology to process milk at low temperature, these studies reported microbial reductions of around 3 log10 cycles and also indicated a limited impact of PEF on some endogenous and microbial enzymes. This scenario indicates that increasing the impact of PEF on both enzymes and microorganisms remains a major challenge for this technology in milk processing. More recently, combining PEF with mild heating (below pasteurization condition) has bee…
Pulsed electric fields as an alternative to thermal processing for preservation of nutritive and physicochemical properties of beverages: A review
2017
Fruit juices and other beverages constitute an important source of bioactive compounds, but thermal processing may reduce their contents thus decreasing natural nutritive value of foods. This has been recently led to the use of non-thermal technologies, especially pulsed electric fields (PEF) as an interesting alternative to thermal pasteurization of beverages. Reported results show that PEF is a useful for pasteurization of fruit juices that can minimize changes in physicochemical and nutritional properties with retention of higher amounts of health-related phytochemicals. This study presents an overview of the effect of PEF on the physicochemical (e.g., Brix, pH, viscosity, acidity, color…
Color of orange juice treated by High Intensity Pulsed Electric Fields during refrigerated storage and comparison with pasteurized juice
2008
Abstract High Intensity Pulsed Electric Field (HIPEF) is one of the nonthermal minimal processing technologies interesting for scientists and food industry as a new, alternative (preservation) process for liquid food. We have evaluated the effect on color, browning and hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) of a pasteurized orange juice and the same orange juice treated by HIPEF, during 7 weeks stored in refrigeration at 2 °C and 10 °C. Pasteurized orange juice presents greater yellow tendency ( b ∗ ) and less red tendency ( a ∗ ) than the untreated orange juice, while HIPEF orange juice presents a coloration more similar to the untreated orange juice. Color variations (Δ E ) during storage are greate…
Hydrogen Dark Fermentation for Degradation of Solid andLiquid Food Waste
2021
The constant increase in the amount of food waste accumulating in landfills and discharged into the water reservoirs causes environment pollution and threatens human health. Solid and liquid food wastes include fruit, vegetable, and meat residues, alcohol bard, and sewage from various food enterprises. These products contain high concentrations of biodegradable organic compounds and represent an inexpensive and renewable substrate for the hydrogen fermentation. The goal of the work was to study the efficiency of hydrogen obtaining and decomposition of solid and liquid food waste via fermentation by granular microbial preparation (GMP). The application of GMP improved the efficiency of the d…
