How does PEF work? Find out what happens when pores are formed in the cells, and what is needed to perform PEF treatments on food products.
How high pressure affects food safety and shelf life High pressure processing can be used to inactivate a variety of microorganisms and thus extend the shelf life of food products.
How do microwaves work? Microwave ovens work by sending microwaves into the food placed inside the oven. The microwaves quickly heat up any liquid in the food and this in turn spreads the heat into and…
How is "smart yoghurt" digested? In this study, we examined digestion of yoghurt produced by combining non-thermal innovative processing technologies, in the laboratory.
How sustainable are new processing technologies? The answer to this question depends on both the product and the sustainability criteria that are emphasised. All six technologies discussed here can increase the shelf life of…
How ultrasound works in food processing Find out what happens when ultrasonic waves causes cavitation, and what equipment is needed to perform ultrasound treatment of food products.
Marketing communication for innovatively processed food Transparency about innovative food processing is a powerful tool in marketing communication strategy. But when does it work the best and how can it attract consumers?
Measurement of in vitro protein digestibility The digestibility of proteins is essential for their role in nutrition.
Metabolite composition of chicken samples Chicken filets were processed with several innovative food technologies, then extracted and analysed with high-resolution mass spectrometry with the aim to find potential,…
Metabolomics: a tool to understand our food Food industrial processing can influence its chemistry and composition, thus studying such an impact is relevant to provide new knowledge regarding their safety and possible…
Microwave products: Guide to Marketing Communication What kind of information should you use to sell a product that has been treated with microwaves?
Microwaves in the food industry Microwaves have a number of applications in food industry, including preservation, tempering, thawing, drying and pre treatments.
Packaging for use with UV-C To achieve optimum microbial reductions for in-package UV treatment, it is necessary to select a highly transmissive packaging material.
Packaging of PEF treated food Pulsed electric fields (PEF) is designed to be applied before packaging*, so the packaging comes after the PEF processing.
Packaging of ultrasound treated food In most scenarios ultrasound is a a technology that will be applied before packaging.
Packaging when using high pressure When food products are subjected to extreme pressures, the volume decreases as a result of the pressure applied (corresponding to the compressibility of the product). A…
