Yoon, Lee, Kim, and Lee have investigated the effect of ohmic heating on the structure and permeability of cell membrane of yeast cells (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). Under similar timeetemperature history, for both conventional and ohmic heating, the authors have observed that little differences between processes could be observed under 50 C but the difference of yeast cell destruction rate under ohmic heating became much pronounced at 70-80 C
