A. acidoterrestris is considered the most important spoilage species within the genus Alicyclobacillus, but A. acidocaldarius, A. pomorum, and A. herbarius have also been isolated from spoiled product. (wikipedia.org)
Alicyclobacillus acidocaldarius, formerly Bacillus acidocaldarius was first isolated from an acidic creek in Yellowston National Park and grows at a pH of 3.6. (up.ac.za)
However, the emergence of Alicyclobacillus as a spoilage organism has led some researchers to advocate using A. acidoterrestris as the reference organism to design pasteurization processes for high acid foods, just as the thermal death time of Clostridium botulinum was used to design the sterilization process for low acid canned foods.

Contamination3
Soil is a common habitat for species of Alicyclobacillus, and is likely the source for contamination of food products. (wikipedia.org)
In The Netherlands in 2013, contamination of raspberry with Alicyclobacillus in pasteurized juices led to a public recall after consumers complained about bad taste and odor. (wikipedia.org)
Contamination and isolation of molds such as Talaromyces flavus and Eupenicillium javanicum and bacteria such as Bacillus subtilis in juices have been reported in past literatures [ 6 - 10 ]. (hindawi.com)
Juice1
When a product is spoiled by Alicyclobacillus, the juice products develop a disinfectant-like odor and/or flavor (due to guaiacol production), but the bacteria do not cause swelling of the package or discoloration of the product, nor is it pathogenic to humans. (wikipedia.org)
Species2
Alicyclobacillus species can have a D95-value of over 8 minutes (requiring treatment of over 8 minutes at 95 °C to kill 90% of spores). (wikipedia.org)
One survey of 8556 samples of fruit and vegetable juices found Alicyclobacillus in 13% of samples, while another study found Alicyclobacillus in 6% out of 180 samples, and another found the bacteria in 14% out of 75 samples. (wikipedia.org)
Program1
The CDC's (Center for Disease Control) Environmental Legionella Isolation Techniques Evaluation (ELITE) Program was utilized for validation and verification of assay performance at an ELITE member lab. (invisiblesentinel.com)
