Cell disintegration measurement tool for food products

Ensure precise measurement of cell disintegration across food products, optimizing processes such as sugar extraction and drying to enhance production efficiency.

The PEF Control device by Elea Technology specializes in measuring cell disintegration through impedance metrics. Designed for precision in both R&D and processing environments, it provides instant feedback on the effectiveness of Pulsed Electric Field (PEF) treatments across various applications, including frozen french fries, kettle-style potato chips, smoothies, and wine production. Adaptable for lab-scale operations and on-site testing, it ensures optimal mass transport processes—such as sugar extraction or drying—by directly measuring the impact of PEF on cell structures. Its compact, portable design, complete with a measuring fork, facilitates seamless integration into existing production lines or research labs. With efficient performance monitoring and easy-to-read results, PEF Control enhances operational control without compromising speed or accuracy, making it an essential tool for food processors, beverage producers, and agricultural product developers.
