Another great milestone — a new publication in the Food Research International journal!
12. Novemeber 2025 - We are proud to announce the publication of our latest research in Food Research International, exploring the effectiveness of Pulsed Electric Field (PEF) technology in reducing spoilage microorganisms in plant-based beverages.
How Pulsed Electric Fields can help reduce spoilage bacteria in plant-based drinks
Arisa Thamsuaidee, Matteo Stefanelli and Claudia Siemer from Elea, together with Vasilis Valdramidis from the University of Athens, have disseminated their research on: “Resistance of vegetative spoilage microorganisms to pulsed electric field (PEF) decontamination in almond-based milk alternatives”. The study compares two PEF treatment chamber designs with regards to their microbial inactivation performance.
Key Findings from the Study
PEF is effective in decontaminating spoilage bacteria in almond-based beverages.
The colinear treatment chamber showed the highest inactivation levels.
The thermal impact was overall lower with the parallel treatment chamber.
