Present Situation and Development of Pasteurization Technology by High-Voltage Electric Field

High-Voltage pulsed electric field pasteurization posscesses offer the advantages of short treatment time, low energy consumption, retention of flavors and nutrients. It is a potential technology to replace or complement the traditional thermal processing methods. The mechanism of effects of high-voltage pulsed electric field on cell membrane and food nutrition, the application and prospect in food industry were summarizied.
