The application of high voltage pulses for liquid food sterilization is an emergent and promising technology potentially applicable in the industrial sterilization of fruit juices, water, milk and other beverages. This paper reports the results of a computational investigation on the influence of different parameters, such as the number and intensity of the high voltage pulses and the electric field distribution inside the treatment chamber, on the survival rate of microorganisms. Experimental data reported in the literature of the influence of the number of pulses and electric field intensity on the survival rate of two different microorganisms is the basis for the statistical investigation. The numerical analysis is based on a non-homogeneous tridimensional electric field modeling, using Finite Element Method. The field distribution inside the treatment chamber, combined with statistical mo
