Journal of Food Safety, Volume 46, Issue 2, April 2026.Apple juice was prepared and treated using Lactococcus lactis fermentation combined with nisin‐assisted ohmic heating (60 V, 30 s). The combined treatment achieved complete inactivation of Bacillus cereus. This approach preserves juice quality while providing an energy‐efficient and sustainable processing method. ABSTRACT There is increasing demand for

Boosting capacitive blue-energy and desalination devices with waste heat
, 2014 We show that sustainably harvesting 'blue' energy from the spontaneous mixing process of fresh and salty water can be boosted by varying the water temperature during a capacitive mixing process.
