A Vermeulen et al.
Food microbiology, 32(2), 389-396 (2012-09-19)
The microbial stability of intermediate moisture foods (IMF) is linked with the possible growth of osmophilic yeast and xerophilic moulds. As most of these products have a long shelf life the assessment of the microbial stability is often an important
Alfredo Montaño et al.
Food microbiology, 34(1), 7-11 (2013-03-19)
The aim of this research was to ascertain the lactic acid bacteria responsible for the degradation of ascorbic acid and/or potassium sorbate, isolated from packed green olives where these additives had diminished. A total of 14 isolates were recovered from
Heidy M W den Besten et al.
Applied and environmental microbiology, 78(23), 8477-8480 (2012-09-25)
Population heterogeneity complicates the predictability of the outgrowth kinetics of individual spores. Flow cytometry sorting and monitoring of the germination and outgrowth of single dormant spores allowed the quantification of acid-induced spore population heterogeneity at pH 5.5 and in the
Takashi Ohtsuki et al.
Analytica chimica acta, 734, 54-61 (2012-06-19)
An analytical method using solvent extraction and quantitative proton nuclear magnetic resonance (qHNMR) spectroscopy was applied and validated for the absolute quantification of sorbic acid (SA) in processed foods. The proposed method showed good linearity. The recoveries for samples spiked
Malcolm Stratford et al.
International journal of food microbiology, 161(3), 164-171 (2013-01-22)
Weak-acid preservatives commonly used to prevent fungal spoilage of low pH foods include sorbic and acetic acids. The "classical weak-acid theory" proposes that weak acids inhibit spoilage organisms by diffusion of undissociated acids through the membrane, dissociation within the cell
