Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris detection kits

Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris is a thermophilic, acid tolerant, spoilage bacterium that withstands pasteurization temperatures typically employed in the juice industry. As the most commonly detected Alicyclobacillus species in spoiled fruit juices and purees, A. acidoterrestris converts lignin components to form guaiacol, contributing to the unpleasant ‘hammy smell” in fruit juices undergoing spoilage.
