Formation and determination of microbially-derived off-flavour in apple juice

Abstract

The role of two bacteria (namely Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris and Streptomyces griseus griseus) on the off-flavour formation in apple juice was investigated. The strains were able to form a number of off-flavour compounds causing medicinal and/or earthymusty notes in the juice under conditions that were common for the storage of shelf-stable products. © 2006 Elsevier B.V.
