Summary

The treatment of foodstuffs with pulsed electric fields is seen as an alternative non-thermal method. Various studies have also dealt with milk. As in other foods, the survival rate of micro-organisms in milk depends upon the application conditions as well as the micro-organism, product, processing conditions and equipment. The enzymes in milk are also inactivated to a varying degree but are less sensitive. Here the inactivation rate depends upon enzyme type, treatment intensity and product. This process succeeds in obtaining a product with organoleptic qualities similar to the fresh product. The keeping qualities of milk at cooling temperatures can be extended by combining pulsed electric fields and pasteurisation.
