What is Pulsed Electric Field as a Novel Technology for Fresh Barhi Date Shelf-Life Extension: Process Optimization Using Response Surface Methodology about?
Fresh dates of the Barhi cultivar at the Khalal maturity stage are well known for their pleasant taste, crispy texture, and bright yellow color. One of the primary technical challenges is preserving the initial high-quality fresh Khalal Barhi dates and extending their shelf life for the longest possible period after harvesting and during the marketing process. Resolving this problem would permit the export of high-quality fresh Saudi dates to international markets. Therefore, the main aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of utilizing a pulsed electric field as a novel non-thermal postharvest processing technology for preserving the nutritional, microbiological, and physical quality of Barhi dates during storage at different temperatures and durations. To accomplish this goal, a five-factor mixed-level central composite rotating design (CCRD) with a response surface methodology (RSM) model was used to define the best PEF processing conditions and subsequent storage environments. The influence of independent factors, PEF intensity (10, 20, 30, and 40 kV/cm), PEF exposure time (40, 80, 120, and 160 ms), PEF numbers (50, 100, 150, and 200 pulses), storage temperature (1 °C,
