“…In order to achieve a low microbial load in the juice and avoid contamination post-processing, a high level of sanitation in the fruit and processing equipment is required. According Mossel et al [34], and to the Good Manufacturing Practices and Distribution (GMPD) and Sanitation Standard Operating Processes, two types of measures are essential to prevent the spoilage of foods: (a) reduce the number of contaminant microorganisms by selecting raw materials of good quality, monitor the proper functioning of the process to control microorganisms and prevent cross-contamination, and (b) limit the colonization diminishing or stopping the microbial growth through the implementation of appropriate measures for cleaning and sanitizing. Therefore, juice fruits producers should be reduce the risk of contamination by microorganisms during the cloudy apple juice processing and make packaging under strict aseptic conditions.…”
