Food treatment has been carried by thermal or non-thermal methods. In recent days, a possible method of microbial deactivation in food is carried out by application of Pulsed Electric Fields (PEF). In the present work, pulse forming network (PFN) for generating high voltage rectangular pulses has been designed and developed. Simulation has been carried out and the effect of last stage inductance on the overshoot of the output waveform is studied. A sterilisable food processing chamber was designed & fabricated. A reduction of about 69% in microbial count was observed.
