In this contribution, the Product-Driven Process Synthesis methodology is used as a well-defined structured approach for the conceptual design of an extraction process for polyphenols from fresh tea leaves. A detailed specification of the starting material (fresh tea leaves) and product (polyphenols) leads to a subsequent definition of fundamental...

In this contribution the Product-driven Process Synthesis methodology was used as a well-defined structured approach for the conceptual design of an extraction process for the isolation of intact oil bodies from soybeans. In the first part of this work, the product-related design stages of the Product driven Process Synthesis methodology were addre...

The major interest in pulsed electric field treatment of biological tissues is derived from its non-thermal application: increasing cell permeability. This application has an important implication in extraction of complex organic molecules. In this work, pulsed electric field treatment is investigated as a mild (non-thermal) processing method for o...

Polyphenolic compounds present in fresh tea leaves are related to health benefits, and they can be used as food items and vitamin supplements. However, during conventional tea processing that includes cutting, rolling, and drying, the extraction step is missing. Moreover, process conditions are harsh for example, to destroy the remaining enzymes an...

The present work describes the product driven process synthesis (PDPS) methodology for the conceptual design of extraction of intact oil bodies from soybeans. First, in this approach consumer needs are taken into account and based on these needs application of the final product (oil bodies) is defined to use extracted oil bodies for food industry a...

Pulsed electric field (PEF) is commonly understood as a fast, non-thermal, and highly effective method for extraction of intracellular compounds. This treatment involves discharge of high voltage electric pulses of a few microseconds into the food product which is placed or passed between two electrodes (Angersbach et al., 2000). Results of experim...
