High voltage electric field thawing is a mild heating process based onsimilar principles to those developed for EHD drying technique as described above. Table 3 presents some studies in the field of applicationof HVEF on food thawing and other food processing.These studies indicated a trend that HVEF thawing can significantlyimprove the quality attributes of thawed foods, decrease the thawingtime, inhibit microbial growth and reduce the energy consumption incomparison with control samples
