Abstract: The present invention relates to a method, a system (1), a cutting head (35), and a centrifugal cutter (27) for cutting an electroporated process-material (2a) into pieces (2b) of a specific nominal thickness.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for treating shell-fruits (3), in particular for producing shell-fruits (3) with improved shelling properties in comparison to untreated shell-fruits (3). The invention further relates to a device (1) for treating shell-fruits (3), in particular for producing shell-fruits (3) with improved shelling properties in comparison to untreated shell-fruits (3), comprising a hermetically sealable treatment chamber (2) for conditioning the shell-fruits (3). In order to provide a method and a device for treating shell-fruits which do not damage the contents of the kernel and simultaneously permit improved shelling of the shell-fruits and the opened shell to be better separated from the kernel, the method according to the invention comprises softening the shell of the shell-fruits (3) by applying an electric field, and the device according to the invention comprises at least one capacitor (4) for generating an electric field in the treatment chamber (2).

Abstract: A method for frying a foodstuff (2) is shown, the cell membrane of which has been permeabilized, wherein the temperature of a frying medium (4) surrounding the foodstuff (2) is lowered from a starting temperature (8) at the beginning of the frying process to a final temperature (9) in a manner controlled in accordance with a predetermined temperature profile (7). Furthermore, a device (1) for producing a fried foodstuff (2) is shown, in particular for performing the above method, which comprises at least one frying container (3) for receiving a frying medium (4) and the foodstuff (2) to be fried, at least one temperature control device (5) for setting the temperature of the frying medium (4) in the frying container (3), and a control unit (6).
