Ohmic heating
Alflow sells customised heating systems for Ohmic heating for sanitary applications. Explore our various Ohmic systems on this page.
Ohmic heating: efficient, accurate and gentle heating
Ohmic heating is an advanced thermal treatment in which food acts as an electrical resistance, and is thus heated by conducting electricity through it. Electrical energy generates to heat, resulting in rapid and uniform heating.
Ohmic heating is also called electric resistance heating, Joule heating or electric heating and can be used in a wide range of applications in the food industry. Ohmic heating can be used, e.g., for heating liquid foods that contain large particles and other heat-sensitive liquids, as well as for treating proteinaceous foods that tend to denature and coagulate when heat-treated.
For example, ohmic heating is suitable for:
- Soups
- Stews
- Sliced fruit in syrup
- Sauces
- Cream cheese
- Juice
- Liquid eggs
- Etc.
There are several advantages of ohmic heating over traditional heating with hot water and steam. As there are no hot surfaces that the product can burn on, gentle and uniform heating is achieved.
In addition, ohmic heating provides short heating times and a homogeneous temperature throughout the product, even with particles.
Another advantage is an extremely precise temperature control – even with varying flow. This is highly effective and efficient.

Ohmic heating can be used to heat liquid foods that contain large particles, such as soups, stews, sliced fruit in syrup, sauces and other heat-sensitive liquids.
The technology is useful for treating proteinaceous foods that tend to denature and coagulate when heat treated. For example, liquid eggs can be heated ohmically for a fraction of a second without coagulating. Juice can be processed to inactivate enzymes without affecting the taste.
Other possible uses of ohmic heating include blanching, thawing, fermentation, peeling, dehydration and extraction. In Denmark, ohmic heating is used in the production of dairy products, including cream cheese. A number of facilities around the world produce e.g. soups and fruit. In the USA, ohmic heating has been used to produce a product with large particles and low acidity, as well as pasteurised liquid eggs. In general, any product can be analysed for the possibility of using ohmic heating.
