What You Need to Know
Electroporation creates transient pores in cell membranes, allowing water to migrate more freely and reducing diffusion resistance. The process inactivates polyphenol oxidase and other browning enzymes, preserving colour and antioxidant content. Because the temperature remains below 40 °C, heat‑sensitive nutrients such as vitamin C are largely retained.
The Science
Primary Reaction
Electroporation of cell membranes leading to increased permeability and accelerated moisture migration
