Inhibitory effects of high pressure and heat on Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris spores in apple juice.
The effectiveness of combined high pressure and heat treatment for reducing spore levels of Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris, a thermoacidophilic spore-forming bacterium, in commercial pasteurized apple juice was investigated. Spores suspended in apple juice were successfully destroyed by combining high pressure with a mild or high temperature (45, 71, or 90 degrees C).
