Food processing applications for RF heating are less common
than for MW heating, though a number can be found in the literature. The two reviews mentioned in Section 1 (Zhao et al., 2000;
Piyasena et al., 2003a) extensively discussed RF heating applications published up to 1999. However, since their publication, more
work has appeared in the literature showing several additional
applications for RF heating in food processing. In this section these
applications will be reviewed together with their reported impact
on general quality aspects of foods.
