PULSED ELECTRIC FIELD

By Hanarsquoa MaheliAdvisor Dr Taha Rababah

PULSED ELECTRIC FIELD Pulse- A pulse is a single disturbance that moves

through a medium from one point to the next point

A disturbance is in some identifiable mediumEnergy is transmitted from place to place but

the medium does not travel between two places

What is pulsed electric field Pulsed electric field (PEF) used short electric

pulses to preserve the food

Pulsed electric field (PEF) treatment is an innovative and promising method for non-thermal processing of foodstuff

It is suitable for preserving liquid and semi-liquid foods removing micro-organisms and producing functional constituents Examples- milk fruit juices soup egg etc

Fundamentals of PEF

PEF Generation of very high intensity electric pulses (up to 15kV) for a very short duration of time (μs)to inactivate microorganisms

About of PEF It is one of the most appealing technology due

to --short treatment time(typically below 1 second)-reduced heating effect-energy lost during heating food is minimized-for fresh-like characteristics of food along with high sensorial quality and nutrient content

How does this technology benefit consumers

1048698PEF processing offers high quality fresh-like liquid foods with excellent flavor nutritional value and shelf-life

1048698Since it preserves foods without using heat foods treated this way retain their fresh aroma taste and appearance

Components of PEFndash Pulse generator1048698High voltage power supply 1048698HV transformer 1048698Capacitor (storing energy)1048698Switching devicesndash Fluid handling system1048698Pumping mechanism (batch or continuous)1048698Treatment chambersndash Cooling mechanism ndash Oscilloscope (to measure the changing of voltage with

time) ndash Computer

How does PEF work to inactivate microorganism

PEF technology is based on a pulsing power delivered to the product placed between electrodes by high voltage pulses in the order of 20ndash80 kV (usually for a couple of microseconds)

The equipment consists of a high voltage pulse generator and a treatment chamber with a suitable fluid handling system and necessary monitoring and controlling devices

Food product is placed in the treatment chamber either in a static or continuous design where two electrodes are connected together with a nonconductive material to avoid electrical flow from one to the other

Generated high voltage electrical pulses are applied to the electrodes which then conduct the high intensity electrical pulse to the product placed between the two electrodes

The food product experiences a force per unit charge the so-called electric field which is responsible for the irreversible cell membrane breakdown in microorganisms

This leads to dielectric breakdown of the microbial cell membranes and to interaction with the charged molecules of food

Hence PEF technology has been suggested for the pasteurization of foods such as juices milk yogurt soups and liquid eggs

How are PEF processed foods stored

1048698PEF pasteurized products currently are stored refrigerated

1048698In some cases (for example milk) this is necessary for safety (to prevent the growth of spores in low-acid foods)

1048698For acid foods refrigeration is not necessary for microbial stability but is used to preserve flavor quality for extended periods of time

The economics of PEF processing

1048698PEF is an energy efficient process compared to thermal pasteurization 1048698The PEF processing would add only $003ndash$007L to final food costs

1048698A commercial-scale PEF system can process between 1000 and 5000 liters of liquid foods per hour and this equipment is scalable

To Obtain Safe and Healthy Shelf-Stable Liquid Foods

The shelf-life of a PEF processed product

In general the shelf-life of PEF-treated and thermally pasteurized foods is comparablePEF pasteurization kills microorganisms and inactivates some enzymes and unless the product is acidic it requires refrigerated storage

1048698For heat-sensitive liquid foods where thermal pasteurization is not an option (due to flavor texture or color changes) PEF treatment would be advantageous

The integration of continuous PEF Processing System

1048698An integrated PEF system consists of a fluid handling unit high voltage pulse generator PEF treatment chambers and packaging machine

1048698The fluid handling unit delivers stable uniform flow with sterilize-in-place (SIP) and clean-in-place (CIP) functions

1048698The pulse generator supplies high voltage pulses into foods flowing through PEF treatment chambers

1048698Treated foods are packaged continuously

What is a PEF treatment chamber

1048698A PEF treatment chamber consists of at least two electrodes and insulation that forms a volume ie PEF treatment zone where the foods receive pulses

1048698The electrodes are made of inert materials such as titanium

Continuous PEF system

PEF system with multiple treatment chambers

Is commercial scale equipment available

1048698In the United States the first commercial scale continuous PEF system is installed at The Ohio State Universityrsquos Department of Food Science and Technology

1048698This PEF system processes volumes ranging from 500 to 2000 liters per hour

Is PEF equipment safe for the environment

1048698Yes this process uses ordinary electricity The facility meets electrical safety standards and no harmful environmental by-products are produced

Limitations -

1048698No effect on enzymes and spores1048698Difficult to use with conductive materials1048698Only suitable for liquids or particles in liquids1048698Only effective in combination with heat1048698Products of electrolysis may adversely affect

foods1048698Safety concerns in local processing

About of PEF It is one of the most appealing technology due

to --short treatment time(typically below 1 second)-reduced heating effect-energy lost during heating food is minimized-for fresh-like characteristics of food along with high sensorial quality and nutrient content

How does this technology benefit consumers

1048698PEF processing offers high quality fresh-like liquid foods with excellent flavor nutritional value and shelf-life

1048698Since it preserves foods without using heat foods treated this way retain their fresh aroma taste and appearance

Components of PEFndash Pulse generator1048698High voltage power supply 1048698HV transformer 1048698Capacitor (storing energy)1048698Switching devicesndash Fluid handling system1048698Pumping mechanism (batch or continuous)1048698Treatment chambersndash Cooling mechanism ndash Oscilloscope (to measure the changing of voltage with

time) ndash Computer

How does PEF work to inactivate microorganism

PEF technology is based on a pulsing power delivered to the product placed between electrodes by high voltage pulses in the order of 20ndash80 kV (usually for a couple of microseconds)

The equipment consists of a high voltage pulse generator and a treatment chamber with a suitable fluid handling system and necessary monitoring and controlling devices

Food product is placed in the treatment chamber either in a static or continuous design where two electrodes are connected together with a nonconductive material to avoid electrical flow from one to the other

Generated high voltage electrical pulses are applied to the electrodes which then conduct the high intensity electrical pulse to the product placed between the two electrodes

The food product experiences a force per unit charge the so-called electric field which is responsible for the irreversible cell membrane breakdown in microorganisms

This leads to dielectric breakdown of the microbial cell membranes and to interaction with the charged molecules of food

Hence PEF technology has been suggested for the pasteurization of foods such as juices milk yogurt soups and liquid eggs

How are PEF processed foods stored

1048698PEF pasteurized products currently are stored refrigerated

1048698In some cases (for example milk) this is necessary for safety (to prevent the growth of spores in low-acid foods)

1048698For acid foods refrigeration is not necessary for microbial stability but is used to preserve flavor quality for extended periods of time

The economics of PEF processing

1048698PEF is an energy efficient process compared to thermal pasteurization 1048698The PEF processing would add only $003ndash$007L to final food costs

1048698A commercial-scale PEF system can process between 1000 and 5000 liters of liquid foods per hour and this equipment is scalable

To Obtain Safe and Healthy Shelf-Stable Liquid Foods

The shelf-life of a PEF processed product

In general the shelf-life of PEF-treated and thermally pasteurized foods is comparablePEF pasteurization kills microorganisms and inactivates some enzymes and unless the product is acidic it requires refrigerated storage

1048698For heat-sensitive liquid foods where thermal pasteurization is not an option (due to flavor texture or color changes) PEF treatment would be advantageous

The integration of continuous PEF Processing System

1048698An integrated PEF system consists of a fluid handling unit high voltage pulse generator PEF treatment chambers and packaging machine

1048698The fluid handling unit delivers stable uniform flow with sterilize-in-place (SIP) and clean-in-place (CIP) functions

1048698The pulse generator supplies high voltage pulses into foods flowing through PEF treatment chambers

1048698Treated foods are packaged continuously

What is a PEF treatment chamber

1048698A PEF treatment chamber consists of at least two electrodes and insulation that forms a volume ie PEF treatment zone where the foods receive pulses

1048698The electrodes are made of inert materials such as titanium

Continuous PEF system

PEF system with multiple treatment chambers

Is commercial scale equipment available

1048698In the United States the first commercial scale continuous PEF system is installed at The Ohio State Universityrsquos Department of Food Science and Technology

1048698This PEF system processes volumes ranging from 500 to 2000 liters per hour

Is PEF equipment safe for the environment

1048698Yes this process uses ordinary electricity The facility meets electrical safety standards and no harmful environmental by-products are produced

Limitations -

1048698No effect on enzymes and spores1048698Difficult to use with conductive materials1048698Only suitable for liquids or particles in liquids1048698Only effective in combination with heat1048698Products of electrolysis may adversely affect

The economics of PEF processing

1048698PEF is an energy efficient process compared to thermal pasteurization 1048698The PEF processing would add only $003ndash$007L to final food costs

1048698A commercial-scale PEF system can process between 1000 and 5000 liters of liquid foods per hour and this equipment is scalable

To Obtain Safe and Healthy Shelf-Stable Liquid Foods

The shelf-life of a PEF processed product

In general the shelf-life of PEF-treated and thermally pasteurized foods is comparablePEF pasteurization kills microorganisms and inactivates some enzymes and unless the product is acidic it requires refrigerated storage

1048698For heat-sensitive liquid foods where thermal pasteurization is not an option (due to flavor texture or color changes) PEF treatment would be advantageous

The integration of continuous PEF Processing System

1048698An integrated PEF system consists of a fluid handling unit high voltage pulse generator PEF treatment chambers and packaging machine

1048698The fluid handling unit delivers stable uniform flow with sterilize-in-place (SIP) and clean-in-place (CIP) functions

1048698The pulse generator supplies high voltage pulses into foods flowing through PEF treatment chambers

1048698Treated foods are packaged continuously

What is a PEF treatment chamber

1048698A PEF treatment chamber consists of at least two electrodes and insulation that forms a volume ie PEF treatment zone where the foods receive pulses

1048698The electrodes are made of inert materials such as titanium

Continuous PEF system

PEF system with multiple treatment chambers

Is commercial scale equipment available

1048698In the United States the first commercial scale continuous PEF system is installed at The Ohio State Universityrsquos Department of Food Science and Technology

1048698This PEF system processes volumes ranging from 500 to 2000 liters per hour

Is PEF equipment safe for the environment

1048698Yes this process uses ordinary electricity The facility meets electrical safety standards and no harmful environmental by-products are produced

Limitations -

1048698No effect on enzymes and spores1048698Difficult to use with conductive materials1048698Only suitable for liquids or particles in liquids1048698Only effective in combination with heat1048698Products of electrolysis may adversely affect

foods1048698Safety concerns in local processing

environment1048698Energy efficiency not yet certain1048698May be problems with scaling-up process
