“…Different frequencies can also be applied to the food material in an ohmic heating process but the higher frequencies (>100 Hz) are usually preferred as the low‐frequencies (˂60 Hz) increase the rate of electrode corrosion and electrolysis reactions (Gavahian & Farahnaky, ; Ramaswamy, Marcotte, Sastry, & Abdelrahim, ). While controlled low temperature MEF has been mainly used as a technique to enhance cell permeability (Kulshrestha & Sastry, ; Sensoy & Sastry, ; Wang & Sastry, ), ohmic heating has a wider range of applications, including microbial inactivation (Kim, Ryang, Lee, Kim, & Rhee, ; Ryang et al., ; Somavat, Mohamed, Chung, Yousef, & Sastry, ), cooking (Farahnaky, Azizi, & Gavahian, ; Jittanit et al., ), and distillation (Gavahian, Farahnaky, & Sastry, , b; Gavahian, Farahnaky, Shavezipur, & Sastry, ). The benefits of controlled low temperature MEF and ohmic heating, such as saving in energy and time, has been highlighted in the literature (Gavahian et al., ; Ramaswamy et al., ).…”
