Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: An overview is presented of the current state of art in microbial inactivation in food products by radio frequency electric fields (RFEF) processing. Critical process parameters determining inactivation are discussed. Some issues are offered that need further investigation in order to commercialize RFEF technology to preserve liquid foods.
