            Abstract : 
This paper is devoted to the application of pulsed power technology to biotechnology, which includes processing of fruit juices, beverages, and dairy products. Pulsed power refers to the technology where a steady accumulation of energy followed by its rapid release results in the delivery of a large amount of instantaneous power over a very short period of time. By releasing the stored energy over a very short interval, a huge amount of peak power can be delivered to a load.
