Abstract
There is a need for alternative technologies that can deliver safe and nutritious foods at lower costs as compared to conventional processes. Pulsed electric field (PEF) technology has been utilised for a plethora of different applications in the life and physical sciences, such as gene/drug delivery in medicine and extraction of bioactive compounds in food science and technology. PEF technology for treating liquid foods involves engineering principles to develop the equipment, and quantitative biochemistry and microbiology techniques to validate the process. There are numerous challenges to address for its application in liquid foods such as the 5-log pathogen reduction target in food safety, maintaining the food quality, and scale up of this physical approach for industrial integration. Here, we present the engineering principles associated with pulsed electric fields, related inactivation models of microorganisms, electroporation and electropermeabilization theory, to increase the quality and safety of liquid foods; including water, milk, beer, wine, fruit juices, cider, and liquid eggs. Ultimately, we discuss the outlook of the field and emphasise research gaps.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2022; 424:127382.

Abstract
We evaluated the suitability of pulsed electric field (PEF) technology as a new disinfection option in the sewage treatment plants (STPs) that can inactivate antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). It was shown that PEF applied disinfection could inactivate not only vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE), but also vanA resistance gene. Cultivable VRE could be effectively inactivated by PEF applied disinfection, and were reduced to below the detection limit (log reduction value of VRE > 5 log). Although the vanA also showed a reduction of more than 4 log, it remained in the order of 105 copies/mL, suggesting that ARGs are more difficult to be inactivated than ARB in PEF applied disinfection. Among parameters in each applying condition verified in this study, the initial voltage was found to be the most important for inactivation of ARB and ARGs. Furthermore, frequency was a parameter that affects the increase or decrease of the duration time, and it was suggested that the treatment time could be shortened by increasing the frequency. Our results strongly suggested that PEF applied disinfection may be a new disinfection technology option for STPs that contributes to the control of ARB and ARGs contamination in the aquatic environments.

Abstract
Pulsed electric field (PEF) treatment consists of exposing food to electrical fields between electrodes within a treatment chamber, which can improve the preservation of fresh-like products such as milk. Although several studies support the use of PEF technology to process milk at low temperature, these studies reported microbial reductions of around 3 log10 cycles and also indicated a limited impact of PEF on some endogenous and microbial enzymes. This scenario indicates that increasing the impact of PEF on both enzymes and microorganisms remains a major challenge for this technology in milk processing. More recently, combining PEF with mild heating (below pasteurization condition) has been explored as an alternative processing technology to enhance the safety and to preserve the quality of fresh milk and milk products. Mild heating with PEF enhanced the safety of milk and derived products (3 log10 -6 log10 cycles reduction on microbial load and drastic impact on the activity enzymes related to quality decay). Moreover, with this approach, there was minimal impact on enzymes of technological and safety relevance, proteins, milk fat globules, and nutrients (particularly for vitamins) and improvements in the shelf-life of milk and selected derived products were obtained. Finally, further experiments should consider the use of milk processed by PEF with mild heating on cheese-making. The combined approach of PEF with mild heating to process milk and derived products is very promising. The characteristics of current PEF systems (which is being used at an industrial level in several countries) and their use in the liquid food industry, particularly for milk and some milk products, could advance towards this strategy. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry.
