MICROBIAL INACTIVATION of FOODS BY PULSED ELECTRIC FIELDS
Abstract
Pulses of high voltage electric fields (PEF) are potentially a most important cold pasteurization/sterilization food preservation technique to replace or partially substitute for thermal processes. During the PEF process, lysis of micro-organisms is caused by irreversible structural changes in the membranes, leading to pore formation and destruction of the semipermeable barrier of the membrane. Theories explaining electroporation of the cell membrane and applications of the nonthermal PEF process are reviewed in this paper.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
