Popis: Concentrations of sorbic acid as high as 1000 mg/L had little effect on the heat resistance of ascospores. Growth of surviving spores that had been exposed to a lethal temperature, however, was greatly inhibited by concentrations as low as 70 mg/L. The results suggest that spoilage of thermally processed fruit products can be prevented by the incorporation of low amounts of sorbic acid.
