Summary The effect of culture temperature on the conformation of membrane lipid of Salmonella Typhimurium as well as their pulsed electric field ( PEF ) resistance was investigated. Results revealed that S.  Typhimurium cells cultured at relatively lower temperature (10 and 25 °C) were more easily inactivated by PEF treatment than those cultured at relatively higher temperature (37 and 45 °C). Using a Weibull model, it was determined that the PEF treatment time to inactivate 90% S.  Typhimurium cells cultured at 45 °C was almost fourfold compared to those cultured at 10 °C. Results of micro‐Raman spectroscopy indicated that as the culture temperature increased, the order degree of C–C and lateral packing order of membrane lipid chain also increased, resulting in a drop in the membrane fluidity. These results are important in considering the use of heat and PEF to inactivate microbe contaminants in food.
