ABSTRACT:
Pasteurization and sterilization of a flowable material such as food is performed by means of pulsed electric field. The flowable material is passed through a pair of closely spaced narrow electrodes at a high speed. The electrodes are applied with a continuous high electric potential. Because the material spends a very little time between the electrodes, it experiences a short pulse of a high electric field which electrocutes bacteria in the flowable material.
