    Effects of Pomegranate and Pomegranate-Apple Blend Juices on the Growth Characteristics of Alicyclobacillus Acidoterrestris Dsm 3922 Type Strain Vegetative Cells and Spores
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2015) Molva, Çelenk; Baysal, Ayşe Handan
    The present study examined the growth characteristics of Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris DSM 3922 vegetative cells and spores after inoculation into apple, pomegranate and pomegranate-apple blend juices (10, 20, 40 and 80%, v/v). Also, the effect of sporulation medium was tested using mineral [Bacillus acidoterrestris agar (BATA) and Bacillus acidocaldarius agar (BAA)] and non-mineral containing media [potato dextrose agar (PDA) and malt extract agar (MEA)]. The juice samples were inoculated separately with approximately 105CFU/mL cells or spores from different sporulation media and then incubated at 37°C for 336h. The number of cells decreased significantly with increasing pomegranate juice concentration in the blend juices and storage time (p<0.001). Based on the results, 3.17, 3.53, and 3.72 log cell reductions were observed in 40%, 80% blend and pomegranate juices, respectively while the cell counts attained approximately 7.17logCFU/mL in apple juice after 336h. On the other hand, the cell growth was inhibited for a certain time, and then the numbers started to increase after 72 and 144h in 10% and 20% blend juices, respectively. After 336h, total population among spores produced on PDA, BATA, BAA and MEA indicated 1.49, 1.65, 1.67, and 1.28 log reductions in pomegranate juice; and 1.51, 1.38, 1.40 and 1.16 log reductions in 80% blend juice, respectively. The inhibitory effects of 10%, 20% and 40% blend juices varied depending on the sporulation media used. The results obtained in this study suggested that pomegranate and pomegranate-apple blend juices could inhibit the growth of A. acidoterrestris DSM 3922 vegetative cells and spores.
