Membrane filtration method for enumeration and isolation of Alicyclobacillus spp. from apple juice

Survey of molds, yeast and Alicyclobacillus spp. from a concentrated apple juice productive process

Bacteria and molds may spoil and/or contaminate apple juice either by direct microbial action or indirectly by the uptake of metabolites as off-flavours and toxins. Some of these microorganisms and/or metabolites may remain in the food even after extensive procedures. This study aim to identify the presence of molds (including heat resistant species) and Alicyclobacillus spp., during concentrat...

Efficacy of microwave against alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris in apple Juice

Apple juice inoculated with alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris was treated with microwave at different power and time, and the efficacy of microwave against alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris was investigated. The results showed that alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris quantity decreased with microwave enhancement or time extension. When juice was treated with microwave at higher than 720 W and for lo...

Alicyclobacillus spp. Control in the Fruit Juice Industry

The definition of food quality may differ for processors and consumers, but generally organoleptic characteristics, such as flavour, odour and appearance, as well as extended shelf life are among the most important of its attributes. Spoilage of food by microbial contamination may occur at any point during production, altering any one or all of these characteristics renders the product unusable...

New methods for inactivation of Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris spores in apple juice concentrate

isolation and identification of alicyclobacillus with high dipicolinic acid and heat resistant proteins from mango juice

background and objectives: microbial spoilage of juices and industries related with alicyclobacillus are considerable international issues. this spore-forming bacterium causes changes in juices odor and taste. the isolation and identification of alicyclobacillus contamination in juice producing and packaging industries has an essential role in the prevention and control of this type of spoilage...
