The invention relates to a method for treating shell-fruits (), in particular for producing shell-fruits () with improved shelling properties in comparison to untreated shell-fruits (). The invention further relates to a device () for treating shell-fruits (), in particular for producing shell-fruits () with improved shelling properties in comparison to untreated shell-fruits (), comprising a hermetically sealable treatment chamber () for conditioning the shell-fruits (). In order to provide a method and a device for treating shell-fruits which do not damage the contents of the kernel and simultaneously permit improved shelling of the shell-fruits and the opened shell to be better separated from the kernel, the method according to the invention comprises softening the shell of the shell-fruits () by applying an electric field, and the device according to the invention comprises at least one capacitor () for generating an electric field in the treatment chamber ().

Method and device for treating nuts, in particular for producing nuts with improved shelling properties

The invention relates to a method and a device for continuously processing foodstuffs with pulsed electric fields, comprising a conveyor belt that is guided in a housing. The conveyor belt guide encompasses the longitudinal edges of the conveyor belt respectively in a recess that is arranged e.g. within the side walls of the housing and is preferably formed by the housing floor and the lateral insulator panels mounted at a distance from the housing floor on the inner side of the side walls or are formed as a groove within the lateral insulator panels. The upper strand of the conveyor belt is guided through the guides above the housing floor within the housing.
