Continuous food-sterilization processes often involve the flow of liquids or solid-liquid
mixtures, frequently highly viscous and with non-Newtonian behaviour, in pipes and
reactors. Heat treatment of such flows is complex and it is necessary to guarantee that
each part of the material is adequately processed, preventing overcooking as much as
possible. The use of ohmic heating technology as an alternative heating method has
regained interest for complex fluids or multiphase foods
