System to assess effects on PEF-treatment on potatoes

The innovative Dutch company Pulsemaster introduces a surprisingly effective Pulsed Electric Field (PEF), pilot-scale batch unit, under the brand name Solidus. This system can be used to assess the effects of PEF-treatment on whole potato tubers for the production of French fries, Chips (crisps) and potato specialties. The new process can avoid tissue damage prior to PEF treatment.

For the first time the food industry and research centers have an instrument available to assess the impact of PEF on plant cell viability, in intact plant tissues or whole solids, such as large whole potato tubers, prior to installing industrial sized PEF systems.

You can now quantify your industrial scale benefits throughout the entire production process of French fries, chips (crisps) and specialty potato products, or any other raw material, such as sweet potatoes, cassava, beetroot and carrots, which provides new shapes and product opportunities.
