Alimentaria (Espagne)
PE3F2
Energy-efficient electro-treatment process for the fruit
sector.
The PE3F2 project aims to develop an alternative pasteurisation
technology designed for industrial quantities of fruit- and vegetablebased juices and processed products in profitable economic conditions.
Labelled project
PE3F2
This innovative process will preserve the nutritional and organoleptic
properties (flavour, colour, texture) of the products.

The stated objectives of the project :
Objectives
Adapt Electrical Impulse Field
(EIF) technology to fruit- and
vegetable-based processed
products and make an industrial
prototype for alternative
pasteurisation to preserve the
nutritional and organoleptic
properties of the products.
The project plans to adapt Electrical Impulse Field (EIF) technology to fruitand vegetable-based processed products (fruit juices, compotes, purées) and
make an industrial prototype.
The purpose is to:
>P
reserve the organoleptic properties of fruit-based products (desserts,
purées, squashes, juices) to an unprecedented degree
>G
uarantee a safe healthy product free of any degradation product caused
by heat treatment
> Verify the effect of EIFs on enzymes
>P
reserve the nutritional properties of fresh fruit (vitamins, minerals,
polyphenols, etc.)
