The effects of operational factors an on an electrokinetic-enhanced filtration (EKEF) application to dewater orange juice (OJ) and malt extract (ME) was investigated. EKEF improved dewatering of both foodstuffs and resulted in net dewatering efficiencies of 7.4% and 4.9% for OJ and 10.7% and 6.3% for ME after 5.5 h processing under 30 V and 15 V, respectively. Dry matter content was increased by 19.2% and 15.6% for OJ after 5.5 h and 14.8% and 12.8% for ME after 3.5 h under 30 V and 15 V, respectively, compared with 14.9% and 10.3% under the control conditions for OJ and ME, respectively. The EKEF process effectively improved dewatering of high moisture-content foods with positive impacts on process efficiency by increased voltage, pressure, and the pore size of filters. The initial distance between electrodes had a negative impact as the distance increased. EKEF is a useful adjunct to improve high pressure filtration of foodstuffs.
