Zusammenfassung:This invention pertains to methods and apparatuses for the capacitive radio frequency (RF) dielectric heating of food and biological products. A food product is heated by maintaining the food product in an AC electrical field generated by an RF signal. As the heating takes place, maximum energy is delivered to the food product using automatic impedance matching to adjust the rate of the process.
