Popis: The efficiency of PEF as a pre-treatment for accelerating the salting (175 kg/m3 NaCl) of pork was assessed through PEF treatments of varying energy densities (22.6–181.1 kJ/kg). This was achieved through a 2 × 2 × 2 factorial design of field strength (1.2 or 2.3 kV/cm), frequency (100 or 200 Hz) and pulse number (150 or 300 pulses). NaCl and water content (kg/kg) acted as indicators for increased saline diffusion. Weight change, pH, cook loss, water-binding capacity (WBC) and texture profiles were also assessed. PEF at 2.3 kV/cm caused greater weight loss than 1.2 kV/cm (p
