alicyclobacillus guaiacol detection

GENE-UP PRO ACB - Development of a Single Test to Detect Alicyclobacillus Species and Guaiacol Producing Strains

The partnership with Cornell University led to the development of GENE-UP® PRO ACB assay, a PCR multiplex method with a 24-hour enrichment. The assay targets Alicyclobacillus species on the FAM channel and predicts the ability of the species to produce guaiacol on the Cy5 channel. GENE-UP PRO ACB is therefore replacing two tests into one and provides results in 27 hours.

Part 1 - Beer Spoilers

From a human safety aspect, historically beer was always considered a safe drink (compared to water) in that pathogens were not found in beer. This is in part thanks not only because the wort is boiled in the kettle but also due to the level of alcohol, hop resins and a low pH. That said, certain microbial contaminants, the so called “beer spoilers” can propagate in beer and be responsible for off-flavours, acids and non-desirable aromas as well as hazy beers.

Family shares a meal together at a table

Part 2 - Beer Spoilers

Definition: Beer Spoilers are microorganisms that can change the flavour, aroma, or appearance of beer in a manner deemed undesirable by the brewer (and the consumer!!). Although there is some overlap, brewers seek to divide spoilage organisms into the categories of “beer spoilers” and “wort spoilers,” with the latter largely inhibited by alcohol, pH, and/or the anaerobic environment created by yeast fermentation (Priest 2003).

Family shares a meal together at a table

Part 3 - Beer Spoilers

All breweries, as part of their microbial plan, aspire to curb the number of opportunities that beer spoilers, essentially bacteria or yeast, have to enter their establishments. As part of a brewery’s Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCP) plan, the brewer needs to identify the different sources of contamination in his/her establishment and try to prevent access of the microbes.

Part 5 - Beer Spoilage Detection

My needs concerning a beer spoiler detection set-up are identified. What technological choices do I have for my laboratory?

Family shares a meal together at a table

Part 6 - PCR Detection of Beer Spoilage Explained

All beer spoiler microorganisms possess DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) which contains the genetic instructions for the development and function of living things. While in animals, plants and yeasts the DNA is contained in the cell nucleus, in bacteria the DNA is present in their cytoplasm (the material within a cell, enclosed by the cell membrane).

Part 7 - Detection of Lactobacillus, Diastaticus, Pediococcus, Pectinatus, Megasphaera

Your craft brewery is up and running, and demand is starting to grow. How do you ensure the product you are selling remains consistent in taste and quality as production increases? In addition to the physico-chemical parameters that you will be probably already monitoring in your quality control laboratory, setting up a brewery microbiology quality control capability in your laboratory is critical in answering these questions.

1. Sampling is Key Whilst Prevention Owns the Value

To decide on the release of a product, numerous parameters are considered when it comes to sampling: representability, size of the sample, the shortness of the time to result, with the possibility of constantly optimizing and improving.

Family shares a meal together at a table

2. Maintaining People’s Know How

If we are to ensure food safety & quality without testing finished products, then the skills and knowledge of people need to be placed at the heart of the discussion to get as close as possible to process control.

3. Accelerate Decision Making

Data is generated everywhere and at any time. This perpetual cycle raises the question of getting the best out of data to better share information, to create paperless workflows and capitalize on visual representations, all of which are a good place to start when thinking in terms of trends, helping to accelerate decision making.

4. Unlock In-Hand Data, Generate More to Better Predict

Dairy products are complex to manufacture. In order to achieve optimal levels of control, numerous components are required. It’s important to generate data in high quantities at a maximum level of frequency, with the analysis carried out by system and data experts to allow us to master the process. In parallel, as we already have a decent amount of data we can get started.
