The sample was placed at the inlet of the continuous type
cooking unit and sandwiched between the electrodes with the
compression. After the system was sealed, belt was rotated at the
speed of 0.25 cm/s, and the power was given to the system. The
optimum ohmic condition for precooking purpose for meatball has
been determined as 15.26 V/cm voltage gradient and 0 s holding
time. After ohmic cooking, samples were cooled down to 20 C in
refrigerated ambient and then immediately transferred to analyses.
Cooking time, which was parameterized that the time required
reaching 75 C of the centre temperature of meatball samples
from the initial temperature of 20 C, was 92 s. Temperature
