Combined Effect of Nisin and Ohmic Heating on Bacillus cereus Inactivation and Quality Preservation in Apple Juice

open access: yesJournal of Food Safety, Volume 46, Issue 2, April 2026.
Apple juice was prepared and treated using Lactococcus lactis fermentation combined with nisin‐assisted ohmic heating (60 V, 30 s). The combined treatment achieved complete inactivation of Bacillus cereus. This approach preserves juice quality while providing an energy‐efficient and sustainable processing method. ABSTRACT There is increasing demand for
