Abstract
A process for treating vegetables and fruit in order to reduce their resistance to cutting. Treatment involves the application of a high electric field directly to the vegetables and fruit, under such conditions that the resulting temperature increase for the vegetables and fruit is almost zero and at any rate, sufficiently low not to amount to a preheating step.
