Influence of physicochemical characteristics on the growth and guaiacol production of Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris in fruit juices

Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris is a bacterium known for causing spoilage in the taste and odour of fruit juices due to its thermoacidophilic nature. Its spoilage is attributed to the formation of guaiacol, which requires the presence of suitable precursors in the juices that A. acidoterrestris can...

Its spoilage is attributed to the formation of guaiacol, which requires the presence of suitable precursors in the juices that A. acidoterrestris can metabolize. Therefore, A. acidoterrestris could exhibit different behaviour depending on the physicochemical characteristics the juice. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the behaviour of five A. acidoterrestris strains in seven different fruit juices by monitoring total cell and spore populations and quantifying guaiacol production. Also, physicochemical and phenolic profile, focusing on antimicrobials and guaiacol precursors, were analysed to better understand differences. Results showed growth in orange, apple, and plum juices for all the tested strains, with total cell populations reaching approximately 7 log cfu/mL, except for plum juice. In persimmon juice, growth was only observed in 3 out of 5 strains, for both total cells and spores. In contrast, all strains were inhibited in peach, black grape, and strawberry juices, maintaining a consistent population around 4 log cfu/mL. A strong negative correlation was observed between bacterial population and compounds such as kaempferol (for strains R3, R111, and P1), cyanidin chloride (for strains R111 and P1), and p-coumaric acid (for strain 7094 T). Regarding guaiacol production, orange and persimmon juices exhibited the highest guaiacol levels, with strain P1 (362.3 ± 12.6 ng/mL) and strain EC1 (325.1 ± 1.4 ng/mL) as the top producers, respectively. Plum, black grape, and strawberry juices showed similar guaiacol concentrations (16.9 ± 2.8 to 105.0 ± 33.7 ng/mL). Vanillin was showed positive correlations with guaiacol production in almost all strains (7094 T, R3, R111, and P1), with correlation coefficients of 0.97, 0.99, 0.82, and 0.87, respectively. We have reported different behaviour of A. acidoterrestris strains depending on juice type. Despite growth inhibition observed in some juices, enough guaiacol quantities to spoil the juice can be produced. This highlights the necessity of exploring strategies to prevent guaiacol production, even under growth restriction.The authors are pleased to acknowledge to Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation, research project QUALISAFEJUICE PID-2019-106645RB-I00 , for its financial support.
