HIPEF stand for High Intensity pulsed electric field
It a non-thermal technique for food preservation
A novel technique
Electric intensity and field 10-80kv/cm
Pulse time interval, mili or nano second (1-100
microseconds)
Applicable for liquid food preservation
For spore and enzyme deactivation PEF should be
combine with other hurdles

5. 2. Principle
- Electric pulses causes
osmotic imbalance due
to electroporation in
celluar membrane and
cause cell lysis
6. 3. Design and parts

-
Fluid input
Pump
Electrodes and working chamber
Power supply
Pulser
Computer
Cooling zone
Fluid output
7. 4. Mode of action
-
-
-
Electroporation on the mos cellular membrane
Make cell membrane permeable and allow to enter small molecules
Cell gets swelled and cause cell lysis or cell inactivation
8. 5. Application
-
-
-
For microbial inactivation pumpable foods
like juices, milk, yoghurt and other
beverages have good outcome
For enhancing the product quality ,solid or
semisolid like meat , fish , french fry can be
used (on going research)
Best for heat sensitive liquid foods
9. 6. Merits
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
Better than thermal process as it preserves food flavors
and quality
Best for heat sensitive liquid foods
Permeabilization of tissue
great absorption of auxilary substance for shelf life
enhancement
Extraction of bioactive compounds from plant cell
Save time , money
Increase value of product
10. Demerits
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
Only applicable for liquid foods
Restricted to low electric conductivity food
foam forming foods cannot be treated as air bubble
dont withstand HIPEF
May cause heat hence need extra cooling setup
Electrodes immersed in fluids can be source of
contamination
Need skills manpower to operate
Initial setup cost is expensive
Still a subject of research
11. 7. Recent trends and future
-
-
juice pasteurization application in the US has used PEF.
Potato applications are already operational in the US and Canada
