Some thermophilic and acidophilic bacteria species that love acidic environments and develop at high temperatures create problems especially during processing of fruits and vegetables. Among these, alicyclobacillus bacteria, especially apple juice and concentrates, produce an odor similar to oil odor and cause considerable economic losses for the enterprises. Bacteria of the genus Alicyclobacillus acidocaldarius are easily grown at temperatures of 60-65 and pH-value environments between 3-4. This is the most common type in thermal waters.

Alicyclobacillus spp., With microbiological analysis of fruit juices as well as fruit, food processing process juice, fruit juice concentrates, fruit teas, tomato paste and sauces, various syrups and many other similar foodstuffs. determination studies are carried out.

Turkish Food Codex Communiqué on Microbiological Criteria (Communiqué no: 2009 / 2009) was published by the Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Rural Affairs in 6. The annexes to this Communiqué describe the microbiological criteria of foodstuffs (Annex 1) and the limits of pathogenic microorganisms (Annex 2).

In the food industry, indicator microorganisms are accepted as an indicator of whether foodstuffs are produced by appropriate techniques and under hygienic conditions. In short, indicator microorganisms are an indicator of quality in foodstuffs. It is important to know values ​​such as total bacteria, total mold, total yeast, total coliforms (ie disease-causing bacteria), fecal coliforms to ensure the quality of foodstuffs. In this respect, bacterial species that cause deterioration in fruit juices, alicyclobacillus spp. types.

In the laboratories, there are generally no-tests on food and environment in the search for a certain microorganism in the sample. In industrial microbiology, high quality and pure microorganisms are obtained. The aim of these analyzes is to have zero target microorganisms in the analysis sample.

 

In advanced laboratories, microbiological analysis, fruit juices alicyclobacillus spp. analyzes are carried out. During these studies, the relevant legal regulations and the standards issued by domestic and foreign organizations are complied with.
