Brings out the best in dried products
Applying PEF ( Pulsed Electric Field) when dehydrating fruits and vegetables significantly improves the drying process, making it more efficient, saving time and money.

The high voltage pulses ” break the cell membrane of plant cells, enabling enhanced release of water. This results in improved rehydrating properties, decreased drying time, intensified taste, preserved color intensity, and retained aroma compounds.
The OptiCEPT® SD7 PEF system significantly reduced drying times across several different commodities such as carrots, cranberries, pineapple, leeks and much more.
OPTICEPT® enables an increased operational efficiency, increasing processing capacity and produce more in less time.
The mild treatment ensures that taste, aroma, color and rehydrating properties are kept intact. It leads to enhanced drying uniformity and helps prevent over-drying or under-drying, improving product consistency.
PEF causes electroporation—pores form in cell membranes, increasing permeability. This facilitates faster water diffusion, allowing shorter drying times and lower energy consumption.
The OptiCept PEF application is installed and retrofitted into existing production lines right after the preprocessing (sorting, washing) and before steam washing, cutting, and drying.
Through its advanced electroporation process, the OPTICEPT® SD7 ensures that the dehydration process of fruit and vegetables is optimized. Increasing profitability, significantly lowering energy consumption, and maintaining superior quality.
This innovation not only boosts efficiency but also reduces waste, making it an environmentally friendly choice for modern food production companies.
By integrating OPTICEPT® into their production line, companies can achieve higher returns on investment, meet the demands of discerning consumers, and lead in an increasingly competitive market.
Have a look at this short video below to get a better understanding of how the technology is implemented in the dehydrating production line.
