Abstract
The importance and challenges presented by Bacillus spores in the food industry are briefly outlined with a focus on Bacillus cereus. The structure and the mechanism of resistance exhibited by Bacillus spores are described, and the steps involved in their germination are included. Novel technologies, using no or only mild heat treatments, to inactivate Bacillus spores are covered, including ultraviolet radiation, pulsed electric field, and high-pressure processing, both as stand-alone techniques or techniques as part of a hurdle approach.Entities:
