Microbial Modeling Of Thermal Resistance Of Alicyclobacillus Acidoterrestris Cra7152 Spores In Concentrated Orange Juice With Nisin Addition [modelagem Microbiana Da Resistência Térmica De Esporos De Alicyclobacillus Acidoterrestris Cra7152 Em Suco De Laranja Concentrado Com Adição De Nisina]

The nisin effect on thermal death of Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris CRA 7152 spores in concentrated orange juice (64°Brix) was studied. Concentrations of 0, 50, 75 and 100 IU of nisin/ml juice, at temperatures of 92, 95, 98 and 102°C were evaluated. The quadratic polynomial model was used to analyze the effects of the factors and their interaction. Verification of surviving spores was carried out through plating in K medium (pH 3.7). The results showed that the D values without nisin addition were 25.5, 12.9, 6.1 and 2.3 min for 92, 95, 98 and 102°C respectively. With addition of nisin into the juice there was a drop of heat resistance as the concentration was increased at a same temperature. With 30, 50, 75, 100 and 150 IU/ml at 95°C, the D values were 12.34, 11.38, 10.49, 9.49 and 9.42 min respectively, showing that a decrease in the D value up to 27% can be obtained. The second order polynomial model established with r2 = 0.995 showed that the microorganism resistance was affected by the action of temperature followed by the nisin concentration. Nisin therefore is an alternative for reducing the rigor of the A. acidoterrestris CRA 7152 thermal treatment.403601611Adams, M., Nizo, E.S., Nisin in multifactorial food preservation (2007), chapter 2, In: Sibel Roller, Natural antimicrobials for the minimal processing of foods, CRC, BostonBeard, B.M., Sheldon, B.W., Foegeding, P.M., Thermal resistance of bacterial spores in milk-based beverage4s supplemented with nisin (1999) J. food protect, 62, pp. 484-491Blocher, J.C., Busta, F.F., (1983) Bacterial spore resistance to acid, pp. 87-99. , Food Technol, NovemberDavies, E.A., Bevis, H.E., Potter, R., Harris, J., Williams, G.C., Delves-Broughton, J., The effect of pH on the stability of nisin solution during autoclaving (1998) Lett.
