The Volatile Profile of Brussels Sprouts (Brassica oleracea Var. gemmifera) as Affected by Pulsed Electric Fields in Comparison to Other Pretreatments, Selected to Steer (Bio)Chemical Reactions.

ABSTRACT: Pulsed electric fields (PEF) at low field strength is considered a non-thermal technique allowing membrane permeabilization in plant-based tissue, hence possibly impacting biochemical conversions and the concomitant volatile profile. Detailed studies on the impact of PEF at low field strength on biochemical conversions in plant-based matrices are scarce but urgently needed to provide the necessary scientific basis allowing to open a potential promising field of applications. As a first objective, the effect of PEF and other treatments that aim to steer biochemical conversions on the volatile profile of Brussels sprouts was compared in this study. As a second objective, the effect of varying PEF conditions on the volatile profile of Brussels sprouts was elucidated. Volatile fingerprinting w
