The potential of high-pressure-resistant mutants of
Escherichia coli to survive high-pressure pasteurization in
fruit juices and in low-pH buffers was investigated. Treatments with up
to 500 MPa of pressure caused only a limited direct inactivation of the
mutants but resulted in an accelerated low-pH inactivation during
subsequent storage.
