Resumen: Influence of the of temperature of biomass (10–40 °C) treated by pulsed electric fields (PEFs) at different intensities (10–25 kV/cm) on electroporation of the microalgae Chlorella vulgaris and on the extraction of lutein was investigated. The occurrence of reversible and irreversible electroporation increased with electric field strength and medium treatment temperature. On the other hand, increasing temperature increased the sensitivity of C. vulgaris cells to irreversible electroporation. Response surface methodology was used to identify optimal PEF treatment conditions for enhancing lutein extraction yield (LEY) from fresh C. vulgaris biomass. Considering the cultivation temperature of C. vulgaris (25–30 °C) and the low increase in the LEY when the PEF treatments were applied at temperatures above 30 °C, a treatment of 25 kV/cm–100 μs at 25–30 °C increased the LEY around 3.5–4.2-fold in comparison with the control, resulting in the most suitable treatment conditions for maximizing the lutein extraction at the lowest energy cost.
