During moderate electric field (MEF) processing, a voltage applied across a food material may affect the permeability of cell membranes. It is known that high electric fields can cause either reversible or irreversible rupture of cell membranes. In this research, the effect of MEF processing on permeability was studied. Effects of frequency and electric field strength were investigated. Cellular structure was investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Fermented black tea leaves and fresh or dry mint leaves were placed in tea bags or cut in 1 cm2 squares, depending on the experiment, and immersed in an aqueous fluid medium. Control samples were heated on a hot plate. MEF treatments were conducted by applying a voltage across electrodes immersed in opposite sides of the beaker. Control and MEF‐treated fresh mint leaf samples heated to 50°C were analyzed by TEM. MEF processing significantly increased the extraction yield for fresh mint leaves because of additional electric field effects during heating. Dried mint leaves and fermented black tea leaves were not affected by the treatment type. Low frequency resulted in higher extraction rates for fresh mint leaves. The electric field strength study showed that electrical breakdown is achieved even at low electric field strengths. MEF treatment shows potential to be used as an alternative to conventional heating for extraction from cellular materials.

Computation of the electric field at a solid/gas interface in the presence of surface and volume charges Bektas, S.I.; Farish, O.; Hizal, M. (Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), 1986) Enhancement of the electric field at a solid insulator/electrode/gas triple junction and on the surface of an insulator, due to imperfect contacts, surface irregularities and contamination, reduces the withstand voltage of the gas-only system. The charges deposited on the surface and in the bulk of the insulator, when stressed under high voltage, further modify the electric field. In the paper, the influence of accumulated static charges on the electric field distribution associated with a cylindrical insul...
Calculation of the Dielectric Constant of a Ferroelectric Liquid Crystal From a Mean Field Model YURTSEVEN, HASAN HAMİT; Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit (2011-01-01) The static dielectric constant epsilon(perpendicular to) of the ferroelectric liquid crystal 4-(3-methyl-2-chlorobutanoyloxy)-4'--heptyloxybiphenyl (A7) with high spontaneous polarization is calculated as a function of temperature using a mean field model. This calculation is performed close to the smectic A-isotropic liquid (SmA-I) transition for pure optically active compound (T-c = 81.6 degrees C). For this calculation of epsilon(perpendicular to), the free energy of the SmA phase is expanded in terms of...
Estimation of Dielectric Properties of Cakes Based on Porosity, Moisture Content, and Formulations Using Statistical Methods and Artificial Neural Networks Boyacı, İsmail Hakkı; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Sakiyan, Ozge (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2008-2-20) Dielectric constant (DC) and dielectric loss factor (DLF) are the two principal parameters that determine the coupling and distribution of electromagnetic energy during radiofrequency and microwave processing. In this study, chemometric methods [classical least square (CLS), principle component regression (PCR), partial least square (PLS), and artificial neural networks (ANN)] were investigated for estimation of DC and DLF values of cakes by using porosity, moisture content and main formulation components, ...
Critical behaviour of the dielectric constant for the smectic AC* transition under the electric field in ferroelectric liquid crystals Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit (2012-01-01) The temperature dependencies of the dielectric constant and the tilt angle (order parameter) are calculated under the electric field for the smectic A-smectic C* (AC*) transition in 4-(3-methyl-2-chlorobutanoyloxy)-4'-heptyloxybiphenyl (A7). The dielectric constant is fitted to the experimental data by using our mean field model with the biquadratic coupling between the spontaneous polarisation P and the tilt angle theta. Our results show that the mean field model with the P-2 theta(2) coupling describes sa...
Calculation of the Raman frequency and the damping constant (linewidth) of the stretching modes for the metal-organic compound DMMg close to the paraelectric-ferroelectric transitions Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit (2018-01-01) We calculate the Raman frequencies of the two stretching modes of as a function of temperature close to the paraelectric-ferroelectric transition (Tc = 270K) in (CH3)(2)NH2Mg(HCOO)(3) referred as DMMg. By assuming that the Raman frequencies of those two modes which exhibit anomalous behaviour near Tc due to the ordering of the dimethlyammonium cations (DMA(+)) as observed experimentally, are associated with the spontaneous polarization (order parameter), their Raman frequencies and damping constants are pre...
