The influence of the impact of electrical impulses on the juice outputting of the pulp

Abstract

Abstract In this article was applied a comprehensive research method which made it possible to quite fully investigate the mechanism of the effect of electrical impulses on the protoplasm of cells and determine the optimal parameters of such effect on plant raw materials, ensuring high efficiency of their use to increase the juice yield. The complex research method made it possible to obtain the necessary data for the implementation of the electrical method for intensifying the process of extracting juice from plant materials. Due to the fact that the issues related to the use of electrical impulses for the processing of plant materials have been little studied and there is no sufficiently clear understanding of the mechanism of such an effect on living cells, we made an attempt to investigate the mechanism of this process. A technique has been developed for studying the dynamics of the action of electric current on plant tissue cells. We expressed the yield of juice from raw materials as a percentage of the weight of the pulp, which was processed and pressed. Thus, a comparison of the results of individual experiments showed an absolute increase in juice yield as a percentage.
