Hanseniaspora sp. yeast was stimulated using pulsed electric field (PEF) during the different fermentation phases. The impact of PEF parameters on the growth rate and substrate consumption was studied. The PEF intensities chosen for this study were mainly in the range of 72–285 V cm⁻¹. A PEF treatment chamber was designed for this study with a ratio of 1:50 between the volume of the fermenter and the volume of the chamber. It allows the recycling of the culture medium using a peristaltic pump, and the yeast treatment by PEF during the fermentation. The continuous circulation of the medium allows avoiding the increase of the temperature inside the fermenter, the cell aggregation, as well as the agitation and the scale-up issues that are associated with the PEF treatment of the entire volume in batch mode. The maximal yeast growth rate was obtained using an electric field strength of 285 V cm⁻¹ applied during both Lag and early exponential phase, and Log phase. This observation was accompanied by a faster consumption of glucose in the medium during the fermentation. Besides, the sensitivity of Hanseniaspora sp. yeast to PEF treatment was more pronounced during the Lag and early exponential phase than the Log phase. The results obtained exposed the great benefit of stimulating Hanseniaspora sp. yeast using moderate PEF as it reduces the fermentation time along with increasing the biomass concentration.
