Effect of pulse width on Pulse Electric Field food treatment

Recent investigations show that pulsed electric field (PEF) treatment is an effective process to inactivate microorganisms in order to pasteurize liquid foods. The pulsed electric fields are produced by high voltage, short duration and fast rise-time pulses applied to a chamber with liquid passing through it.
