For electrostatic smoking, the smokehouse
is additionally equipped with a high -
voltage section, where the smoke deposition
takes place within a few minutes (Sikorski
1962 , Tilgner and Sikorski 1962 ). Because
the length of treatment is so short, the density
of smoke has to be kept very constant in
order to assure a uniform degree of smoking
of the product. Electrostatic deposition may
also be applied in smoking ovens in which
smoke preparations are used instead of
smoke. The other phases of the process (i.e.,
pre - drying and cooking) proceed as in conventional
smoking.
