Abstract
The implementation of pulsed electric field technology (PEF) has garnered interest in enhancing the utilization of fruits and vegetable waste by effectively extracting valuable components and enhancing various processes. The utilization of waste has potential advantages in terms of both environmental sustainability and economic profitability. PEF disrupts the cellular structure of fruits and vegetables, making it easier to extract bioactive compounds like antioxidants, phenolics, vitamins, and essential oils. This procedure enhances both the efficiency and quality of extracted compounds in comparison to conventional methods. This review addresses the diverse applications of waste conversion, including the extraction of bioactive substances, microbial inactivation, enzyme inactivation, drying, and starch modification. These applications are aimed at transforming waste into valuable resources. The paper evaluates the technological advancements and industrial applications of PEF in waste valorization, highlighting successful cases. The study also emphasizes future prospects and research initiatives, with a focus on the necessity for ongoing research to uncover new opportunities and tackle developing difficulties. Hence, the application of PEF in the utilization of fruits and vegetable waste can enhance the extraction procedures, prolong the shelf life, and diminish waste, thereby promoting a more sustainable approach in the food sector.
期刊介绍:
Food and Bioprocess Technology provides an effective and timely platform for cutting-edge high quality original papers in the engineering and science of all types of food processing technologies, from the original food supply source to the consumer’s dinner table. It aims to be a leading international journal for the multidisciplinary agri-food research community.
The journal focuses especially on experimental or theoretical research findings that have the potential for helping the agri-food industry to improve process efficiency, enhance product quality and, extend shelf-life of fresh and processed agri-food products. The editors present critical reviews on new perspectives to established processes, innovative and emerging technologies, and trends and future research in food and bioproducts processing. The journal also publishes short communications for rapidly disseminating preliminary results, letters to the Editor on recent developments and controversy, and book reviews.
