Abstract

The present invention describes a method for treating a plant material, said method comprising the following steps: - exposing the plant material to vacuum impregnation in an aqueous solution; - applying a pulsed electrical field (PEF) treatment to the plant material in the aqueous solution before, simultaneously as or after exposing the plant material to vacuum impregnation in an aqueous solution; - applying a drying step to the PEF treated plant material for removing water/moisture from surfaces of the plant material before packing the treated plant material; said method also comprising an active step for preventing microbial contamination of the aqueous solution.
