Theoretical foundations of electropulse impact on plant objects

Abstract

This article considers the theoretical foundations of the electropulse effect on plant objects. The influence of the energy absorbed by a living system on the degree of damage to plant cells and tissues is studied. It has been established that the impact of many damaging factors accompanying a high-voltage electrical impulse determines the degree of damage to plant tissue. The authors propose to consider the process of electrical processing from the standpoint of the law of conservation of energy and accept the initial conditions that describe the properties of a plant object. However, the research results do not allow theoretically assessing the dependence of the coefficients included in the formulas on all the parameters that determine their values.

“…The amount of heat supplied to the raw material and absorbed in volume V during time dτ is equal to [7] ( )…”

“…Dehydration is an important process in the food industry to increase shelf life and facilitate transportation and storage of various plant products. However, traditional dehydration methods often require high temperatures and long time intervals, which can lead to loss of nutrients and changes in the organoleptic properties of products [7,8].…”
