The paper shows original experimental data on the pulsed electric field treatment of vegetable tissue. A 5 mm 55 mm cylindrical slab of apple is taken as a sample the influence of pulse repetition time on the effectiveness of vegetable tissues electroplasmolysis was approved. It was hypothetical opinion that evolu- tion of the vegetable tissue electrodistruction is governed by three key processes: plasmolysis and two secondary processes such as moisture transfer inside the cellular structure and resealing of ruptured cells. As the result, electroplasmolysis index was proposed as an indicator of the effect degree of this secondary processes. In addition, influence of the moisture transfer and resealing on the energy consumption was analyzed.
