  Differences in membrane damage including leakage of intracellular UV-materials and loss of viability of Salmonella spp. and Escherichia coli O157:H7 bacteria in apple juice following thermal-death-time (TDT) disk and high hydrostatic pressure treatments were investigated. Salmonella spp. and E. coli O157H:H7 bacteria were inoculated in apple juice to a final 7.8 log10 CFU/ml and were thermally treated with TDT disks at 25, 35, 45, 50, 55 and 60°C for 4 min or pressurized at 350, 400 and 450 MPa at 25, 35, 45, 50, 55 and 60°C for 20 min. Sublethal injury, leakage of UV- materials and viability loss as a function of membrane damage of these bacterial pathogens was investigated by plating 0.1 ml of treated and untreated samples on non selective Trypticase Soy Agar (TSA) and selective Xylose Lysine Sodium Tetradecylsufate (XLT4) for Salmonella and Cefixime Potassium Tellurite So..
