“…However, most studies failed to achieve a constant material temperature, and the samples were continuously heated during pasteurization due to the dielectric heating mechanism (Chen, Wei, Irmak, Chaves, & Subbiah, 2019;Jeong, Baik, & Kang, 2017). Other studies used RF to rapidly heat a material to a target temperature, followed by conventional thermal treatments during holding period, such as hot air (Jiao, Zhong, & Deng, 2016;Lin et al, 2020;Zheng, Zhang, & Wang, 2017), hot water (Yang et al, 2019), or natural heat preservation (Liu, Ozturk, et al, 2018;Ozturk et al, 2019;Xu, Liu, & Tang et al, 2018). No systematic study has been reported on RF pasteurization kinetics of C. sakazakii.…”
