Beverage spoilers: Detection of Alicyclobacillus
Alicyclobacilli are frequently occurring thermophile and acidophile beverage spoilers. In beverages, they cause off-flavors like aseptic smell and taste. In this respect, Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris is particularly dreaded, but other Alicyclobacillus species can also cause such problems. The resulting economic damage for the global juice and beverage industry is enormous.
Flow VIT® Alicyclobacillus enables the fast and reliable quality control in all stages of production of fruit juices, mixed drinks and fruit juice concentrates. Economically damaging product recalls due to contaminated products can thus be avoided in a timely and sustained manner.
Flow VIT® Alicyclobacillus unequivocally detects all bacteria of the genus Alicyclobacillus as well as Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris (including spores) in a sample. The analysis is uncomplicated and quickly done, detection is performed automatically by a VIT® adapted flow cytometer. Evaluation results are available within only a few minutes.
