Electrotechnologies for extraction from food plants and biomaterials

Recently, the electrotechnologies based on the effects of pulsed electric fields (PEF), such as ohmic heating (OH) and DC electric field, have gained real interest in the field of food processing. These techniques efficiently enhancemethods of extraction from food plants and dehydration of biosolids. The PEF and pulsed OH techniques preserve the nutritional, functional, structural and sensory properties of products better than conventional extraction technologies. The electrofiltration and electro-osmotic dewatering can be very effective for the separation of bioproducts and dehydration of food wastes. Presents theeffects of these emerging electrotechnologies in a comprehensive manner Focuses on the latest developments in this field INDICE: Preface.- Electroporation in Biological Cell and Tissue: An Overview.- Pulsed Electric Fields Induced Effects in Plant Tissues: Fundamental Aspects and Perspectives of Applications.- Moderate Electrothermal Treatments of Cellular Tissues.- DC Electrical Effects on Plant Tissues and Gels.- Electro-Osmotic Dewatering (EOD) of Bio-Materials.- Electrofiltration of Biomaterials.- Food Industry Applications for Pulsed Electric Fields.- Applicatoin of High-Voltage Electrical Discharges for the Aqueous Extraction from Oilseeds and OtherPlants.- Industrial Scale Treatment of Biological Tissues with Pulsed Electric Fields.- Index.
