Abstract Pulsed electric fields (PEF) as a new pasteurization technology played an important role in the process of inactivating microorganisms. At same time, temperature could promote electroporation, and achieve better inactivation effect. This article studied effect PEF on Saccharomyces cerevisiae , Escherichia coli Bacillus velezensis under different initial temperatures (room temperature-2...

Ablative techniques based on irreversible electroporation (IRE) have emerged as an effective cancer therapy. In these treatments electrical pulses are delivered in order to induce irrecoverable damage to the cell membranes, thus, causing cell death. An interesting feature of electroporation treatments is the capability to predict shape and extension of lesions by means of mathematical simulatio...

High voltage electric pulses cause electroporation of the cell membrane. Consequently, flow of the molecules across the membrane increases. In our study we investigated possibility to predict the percentage of the electroporated cells in an inhomogeneous electric field on the basis of the experimental results obtained when cells were exposed to a homogeneous electric field. We compared and eval...
