Application of a Krypton-Chlorine Excilamp To Control Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris Spores in Apple Juice and Identification of Its Sporicidal Mechanism

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...

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

Inactivation of Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris spores by high pressure CO₂ in apple cream.

Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris (A. acidoterrestris) is a bacillus-type spore former that causes significant alterations in fruit products. It is highly resistant to typical pasteurization regimes; thus, this work explored the use of high-pressure CO₂ (HPCD) for its deactivation in apple cream. The assays were conducted in a high-pressure apparatus where the cream was placed in an agitated ves...

construction and validation of translation metacognitive strategy questionnaire and its application to translation quality

like any other learning activity, translation is a problem solving activity which involves executing parallel cognitive processes. the ability to think about these higher processes, plan, organize, monitor and evaluate the most influential executive cognitive processes is what flavell (1975) called “metacognition” which encompasses raising awareness of mental processes as well as using effectiv...

Immunomagnetic Separation Combined with Polymerase Chain Reaction for the Detection of Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris in Apple Juice

A combination of immunomagnetic separation (IMS) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to detect Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris (A. acidoterrestris) in apple juice. The optimum technological parameters of the IMS system were investigated. The results indicated that the immunocapture reactions could be finished in 60 min and the quantity of IMPs used for IMS was 2.5 mg/mL. Then the comb...
