Elea would like to extend a warm thank you to all those who participated in our 1st ever Elea PEF Advantage event, three days of talks, insights and demonstrations about Pulsed Electric Field in the food industry with the added bonus of a world record attempt. The event highlighted Elea PEF benefits in various industry sectors, including reduced energy and water usage as well as improved product quality.
Experts and PEF users from around the globe came and presented insightful talks on PEF, on diverse topics ranging from exciting new applications for wine, PEF processing in the chip industry, sustainability benefits of PEF, PEF processing benefits and opportunities for Juice and many more.
Elea R&D and engineering staff gave live demos including juice and snacks processing, drying and extraction improvement as well as a demonstration of industrial-scale systems and process monitoring options. Product samples have been manufactured and enjoyed by the participants.
On the second day of the event, Elea attempted to fry the world longest French fry in front of a large and enthusiastic crowd. Cut in one piece from a single potato and reaching 314 cm in length, the world record attempt was conceived as a way of demonstrating PEF’s remarkable and transformative effects on food. Afterwards, another attempt was made with a sweet potato with even greater results reaching 347 cm.
We look forward to welcoming more of you to our future PEF Advantage Demo days in 2020.
