Effects of pulsed electric fields (PEF) processing on physical properties, bioactive compounds, and formations of furfural and hydroxylmethylfurfural (HMF) were determined for apple juice. A central composite design to determine the optimal number and order of experimental runs and the best-fit multiple nonlinear regression (BF-MNLR) models to quantify and predict rates of change in the response variables as a function of the PEF processing were used. No significant difference was detected between the control and PEF-treated apple juice in terms of physical properties, organic acids, and polyphenols of (-)-epicatechin, caffeic acid, p-coumaric acid, ferrulic acid, quercetin, and gallic acid. The highest predictive power (
