Abstract Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris is a bacteria capable of spoiling industrialized orange juice, making it a problem for the beverage industry. This study evaluated the effect of UV-C radiation in combination with nisin in the reduction of A. acidoterrestris spores using reconstituted orange juice. A. acidoterrestris spores were treated with nisin (7.81 and 15.62 μg/mL) in combination with different doses of UV-C (from 2.52 to 12.6 kJ/m2). The presence of vitamins in the juice after the treatments was investigated by UHPLC-HRMS using a ultra high performance liquid chromatography system. The combination of UV-C and nisin treatment showed counts below the detection limit of the method (
