FOX (Food in a box) aims to <\/em>rethink the way we process food. The project values sustainability and health while focusing on meeting consumer expectations towards local, qualitative foods. To achieve this, FOX uses mild processing technologies, such as pre-treatment before drying and mild preservation techniques like pulsed electric field (PEF). The use and advantages of PEF are explained in this article. <\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>

How does PEF technology work? <\/strong><\/h2>\n

The technology can be used for different applications.<\/p>\n

As an innovative mild food processing technology, PEF extends the shelf life and respects the food quality at the same time. Other commonly used processes using high temperature, such as heat pasteurisation, affect food quality more negatively.<\/p>\n

The PEF mechanism is called electroporation and based on the following steps:1<\/sup><\/strong><\/p>\n
