Fermenting sweet wine was treated by PEF, HVED and SO2 for microbial yeast inactivation.
SO2, PEF and HVED decreased the total yeast amounts up to 8, 3 and 4 logs respectively.
The non-Saccharomyces yeast amounts were decreased after SO2, HVED and PEF up to 7, 5 and 4 logs respectively.
No wine's browning was observed for PEF treated samples only.
