Aims This study aimed to determine how electric field strength, pulse width and shape, and specific energy input relate to the effect of pulsed electric fields (PEF) on viability and membrane permeabilization in Candida humilis and Saccharomyces cerevisiae suspended in potassium phosphate buffer. Conclusions Energy input was the parameter that best described the inactivation efficiency of PEF. Significance and impact of study This study is an important step to identify key process parameters and to facilitate process design for improved cost-effectiveness of commercial PEF treatment. -
