This study investigates the effects of pulsed electric fields (PEF) and freeze thawing (FT) pretreatments on juice yield and quality from chicory by pressing (P). The four different modes (P, PEF-[sbnd]P, FT-P and P-PEF-P) were compared. The effects of pressing mode, PEF conditions, cossettes size on the juice yield, and total soluble matter (°Bx), conductivity, pH, turbidity in expressed juices were evaluated. The pressing kinetics for different modes were also investigated. For studied modes, the highest juice yield and kinetic rate were obt...
