Impact of different pre-processing treatments on the degree of cell electroporation caused by PEF

In this deliverable it will be evaluated the impact of different pre-processing steps and pre-processing conditions (ex. grinding degree) on the cell disintegration of the raw material and on the electroporation caused by PEF. Results will permit the identification of optimal pre-treatment conditions in terms of the structure of the raw material (whole pieces, degree of grinding or cutting, etc.) to obtain the highest benefits derived from the application of a PEF treatment.
