Journal ArticleDOI
Alicyclobacillus Acidoterrestris: The Organism, the Challenge, Potential Interventions
TL;DR: A better understanding of the characteristics of Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris, its sources and signs of spoilage in high-acid beverages, and possible interventions will assist processors in developing appropriate strategies for its control in juices, teas and isotonic waters.
Book ChapterDOI
Physiology, Growth, and Inhibition of Microbes in Foods
TL;DR: This chapter addresses three issues: the ability of bacteria to use different biochemical pathways to generate the energy required to grow under adverse conditions in foods; the interaction of bacteria and foods in ecosystems in which the cells may exist in a variety of physical and physiological states; and the kinetics of microbial growth.
Book ChapterDOI
Growth, Survival, and Death of Microbes in Foods
TL;DR: This chapter addresses foods as ecosystems and discussing intrinsic and extrinsic environmental factors that control bacterial growth, explaining first-order or pseudo-first-order kinetics which govern the log phase of microbial growth and many types of lethality, and focusing on physiology and metabolism of foodborne microbes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inhibition of listeria monocytogenes by carnobacterium piscicola in vacuum‐packaged cooked chicken at refrigeration temperatures
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that lower temperatures and bacteriocin production enhanced L. monocytogenes inhibition by C. piscicola.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oxidation‐Reduction Potentials of Canned Foods and Their Ability to Support Clostridium Botulinum Toxigenesis
Thomas J. Montville,L. K. Conway +1 more
TL;DR: This article found that foods packed in glass had higher redox potentials than those packed in cans, and only 4 out of 26 products tested reached positive redox values after exposure to air for 24 hr at 4°C.
