Abstract The effectiveness of combined shear stress (SS) and moderate electric field (MEF) on the inactivation of Escherichia coli K12 in apple juice was investigated. Inoculated samples were treated at two temperatures (40 °C and 50 °C) for various times (up to 30 min) by this combined treatment (shear rate: 151.5–2879 s-1; electric field strength: 0–120 V/cm). Bacterial reduction resulting from shear and MEF combination was significantly different (p
