ABSTRACT 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°C).

To find the range of pressure required for effective high-pressure inactivation of bacterial spores and to investigate the role of α/β-type small, acid-soluble proteins (SASP) in spores under pressure treatment, mild heat was combined with pressure (room temperature to 65°C and 100 to 500 MPa) and applied to wild-type and SASP-α−/β− Bacillus subtilis spores. On the one hand, more than 4 log units of wild-type spores were reduced after pressurization at 100 to 500 MPa and 65°C. On the other hand, the number of surviving mutant spores decreased by 2 log units at 100 MPa and by more than 5 log units at 500 MPa. At 500 MPa and 65°C, both wild-type and mutant spore survivor counts were reduced by 5 log units. Interestingly, pressures of 100, 200, and 300 MPa at 65°C inactivated wild-type SASP-α+/β+ spores more than mutant SASP-α−/β− spores, and this was attributed to less pressure-induced germination in SASP-α−/β− spores than in wild-type SASP-α+/β+ spores. However, there was no difference in the pressure resistance between SASP-α+/β+ and SASP-α−/β− spores at 100 MPa and ambient temperature (approximately 22°C) for 30 min. A combination of high pressure and high temperature is very effective for inducing spore germination, and then inactivation of the germinated spore occurs because of the heat treatment. This study showed that α/β-type SASP play a role in spore inactivation by increasing spore germination under 100 to 300 MPa at high temperature.

Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris, a thermoacidophilic and spore-forming bacterium, has been isolated from spoiled acidic juices and is considered to be one of the important target microorganisms in quality control of acidic canned foods. Combined high pressure and heat treatment showed an effectiveness to control A. acidoterrestris spores. However, the effectiveness of the combined treatment may change upon the apple juice concentration. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate different levels of apple juice concentrate for reduction of Alicyclobacillus spores by high pressure and heat. Spores of A. acidoterrestris were inoculated into three different concentrations of apple juice (17.5, 35, and 70° Brix), and subjected to three high-pressure treatments (207, 414, and 621 MPa) at four different temperatures (22, 45, 71, and 90°C). High-pressure treatment (207, 414, and 621 MPa) at 22°C did not reduce the level of spores regardless of the apple juice concentration (P > 0.05). In diluted apple juice (17.5° Brix), the combined treatment of high pressure and heat resulted in spore reductions of about 2 log at 45°C, and more than 5 log at higher temperatures (71 and 90°C) in a high-pressure and temperature-dependent manner. For apple juice with a higher concentration (30° Brix), high-pressure treatment showed no effect at 45°C but resulted in about 2 and 4 log reduction at 71 and 90°C, respectively. However, for apple juice concentrate (70° Brix), treatment with heat or high pressure alone, or their combinations showed no inactivation against spores of A. acidoterrestris. It is likely that differences in the water availability explain the greater resistance of spores to high-pressure inactivation in the juice concentrates than in diluted juices. Our results demonstrate that the effect of high pressure combined with heat against spores of A. acidoterrestris was highly dependent on the apple juice concentration.

High pressure homogenization (HPH) at 300 MPa in apple juice provides more than 5-log kill of ascospores of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, conidiospores of filamentous fungi, and sporulated black yeasts. HPH and heat treatment were more effective against vegetative cells than against the spores of yeasts used in this study. Ascospores of Talaromyces macrosporus and Neosartorya spinosa were resistant to HPH at 300 MPa. HPH of ascospores of T. macrosporus may result in activation.
