This study investigated pulsed electric field (PEF) pre-treatment of blueberries and its impact on juice production and recovery of bioactive compounds from press cake. PEF at 1–5 kV/cm (10 kJ/kg) increased juice yield and increased phenolics, anthocyanins, and antioxidant activity in juice compared with untreated…
