ELEA PEF BENEFITS FOR DRIED FOOD

Low energy use

Better flavour

Enhanced process optimisation

Improved colour

Higher capacity

Faster process times

Faster freeze and vacuum drying

Improved Quality

The Elea PEF Advantage™ Belt Pulsed Electric Field treatment enables gentle cell opening of plant cells in carrots, bell peppers, mushrooms, bananas, strawberries and many other fruits and vegetables. This results in water leakage and a softer raw material that’s much easier to process and brings added benefit to the production of dried products, resulting in greater yield, less product shrinkage and larger volume. Taste, smell and colour are all also intensified. Elea PEF accelerates drying times and can process higher capacities.

ELEA PEF UNLOCKS THE TRUE POTENTIAL OF RAW MATERIALS FOR DRIED FOOD

Improved colour, better taste, less shrinkage, less energy usage. Elea PEF reveals new applications to both process and raw produce.

Elea PEF Advantage™ Belt: saving energy, increasing yield and improving colour and quality.

PEF brings positive and dramatic changes to the manufacturing process as well as to the actual raw materials themselves.

Through PEF, we can create radical new opportunities for food. Elea PEF alters the cell structure and raw materials have their full potential released. For example, these red bell pepper slices above, one untreated and the other one Elea PEF

treated, shows clearly improved water release on the PEF treated product. Because of that, the drying process is much faster and color is intensified.

The PEF Advantage™ Belt One. The latest system designed by Elea is a compact industrial scale system for pre-treatment of freeze dried, vacuum dried, hot-air dried and osmotic dried products.
