Abstract
Fruit juice spoilage that caused by contaminated Alicyclobacillus has brought huge losses to beverage industry worldwide. Thus, it is very essential to understand the growth and metabolism processing of Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris (A. acidoterrestris) in controlling juice spoilage caused by Alicyclobacillus. In this work, simulative models for the growth and metabolism of A. acidoterrestris were systematically conducted in the medium and fruit juice. The results showed that low temperature (4 ℃) and strong acidic environment (pH 3.0-2.0) of medium inhibited the growth and reproduction of A. acidoterrestris. In addition, with decreasing temperature, the color, smell and turbidity of commercially available juice supplemented with A. acidoterrestris significantly improved. This work provided a clear exploration of growth characteristics of A. acidoterrestris by applying theory (medium) to reality (fruit juices), and pave fundamental for exploring the zero additives of controlling juice spoilage.
