Description
PEF uses high‑voltage micro‑pulses to electroporate plant cells, releasing flavor compounds without significant heating.
Technical
Electroporation creates transient pores in the phospholipid bilayer, allowing rapid diffusion of intracellular terpenes, phenolics, and other volatile compounds into the surrounding medium. The process operates below 30 °C, preserving heat‑labile nutrients such as vitamin C and certain amino acids, and relies on precise control of field strength and pulse duration to maximize extraction efficiency.
