Abstract
A pulsed electric field method for the continuous extraction of oil and lipids from small aquatic plants, the method including providing a continuous flow of a slurry of small aquatic plants. A continuous flow of small aquatic plants is directed to a treatment zone. Pulsed electric fields are applied to the treatment zone to lyse cell walls of the small aquatic plants to enhance extraction of oil and lipids therefrom.
