Pulsed Electric Field (PEF) technology uses short, high‑voltage pulses to permeabilize plant cell membranes, enabling efficient extraction of proteins while preserving their functional properties.
Origin: Swedish scientists (1970s) — Sweden
See full technique reference →PEF applies electric fields of 1–30 kV/cm for 1–10 µs pulses, creating transient pores in cell membranes (electroporation). The resulting permeabilization allows intracellular proteins to diffuse into the surrounding medium without significant thermal denaturation. The process is non‑thermal, energy‑efficient, and preserves protein functionality.
