Project Abstract

<p>** <br>This research project aims to explore the application of pulsed electric fields (PEF) as an emerging processing technology in the food industry and its impact on food safety and quality. PEF involves the application of short pulses of high-voltage electricity to food products, which can result in microbial inactivation, enzyme inactivation, and structural modifications. Through a comprehensive literature review and experimental investigations, this study will evaluate the effectiveness of PEF in preserving food safety and enhancing food quality attributes. The findings will contribute to a deeper understanding of the potential of PEF as a novel food processing technique and its implications for the food industry.<br><br></p>
