Abstract

This paper presents results obtained by numerical modeling and experimental results of grape processing in a high frequency electromagnetic field. Numerical modeling was performed using the HFSS 15.0 software, and for experimental measurements we used an applicator with adjustable power. We analyzed the behavior of three varieties of grapes characterized by different flavor and color. In our study we aimed at establishing effective processing techniques both energetically and to obtain a high quality final product.
