Abstract:	The primary aim of this study was to establish the effects of both cavitation, (20 KHZ), and heat (55°C or 60•C) on Saccharomyces cerevisiae GC210 (MATa lys2) suspended in physiological saline. Fluorescent flow cytometry was used to determine the effects of moist heat and acoustic cavitation on S. cerevisiae cells. Results from this study could be used as a guide for use by the food industry for the combined use of heat and sonication to disinfect various solutions contaminated with S. cerevisiae.
