Alicyclobacillus is a causative agent of spoilage in pasteurized and heat-treated apple juice products. Differentiating between this genus and the closely related Bacillus is crucially important. In this study, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) was used to identify and discriminate between 4 Alicyclobacillus strains and 4 Bacillus isolates inoculated individually into apple juice....

Alicyclobacillus species are thermo-acidophilic bacteria that produce highly resistant endospores able to survive the processing temperatures of fruit concentrate manufacturing, including evaporation and conventional pasteurisation (86 ° 96 °C for ± 2 min). Alicyclobacillus endospores retain their viability in juice concentrates which, under favourable conditions, could germinate and multiply t...

Alicyclobacillus spp. are a group of thermophilic, acidophilic, spore-forming bacteria, some of which cause spoilage in commercially pasteurized fruit and vegetable juice products including apple, orange, tomato and carrot juice. In this study, we characterized seven isolates of Alicyclobacillus (14-2, KF, A-Gala 2-1, C-Fuji 6, Gala 9-2, 1016, 18-1) and a reference strain A. acidiphilus DSM 145...

BACKGROUND Alicyclobacillus sp. A4 is thermoacidophilic and produces many glycoside hydrolases. An extremely acidic beta-1,4-glucanase (CelA4) has been isolated from Alicyclobacillus sp. A4 and purified. This glucanase with a molecular mass of 48.6 kDa decreases the viscosity of barley-soybean feed under simulated gastric conditions. Therefore, it has the potential to improve the nutrient bioav...

The purpose of this work was to investigate the population dynamics spores and vegetative cells A. acidoterrestris in orange juice treated with temperature-assisted HHP stored different isothermal conditions. For reason, two strains were inoculated commercial subjected treatment at 600 MPa/60 °C for 5 10 min. Inoculated samples subsequently 4, 12 25 60 days. During storage, determined before af...
