The effects of age on high pressure resistance of the ascospores of heat resistant moulds Byssochlamys fulva, B. nivea, Neosartorya fischeri and N. spinosa were determined. Ascospores were harvested from cultures grown for 3-15 weeks at 30 degrees C on malt extract agar. Following filtration and determination of concentration, the ascospores were subjected to high pressure processing (HPP) at 600 MPa for 10 min in 0.1 M citrate phosphate buffer (pH 4 and 6) and mango puree (pH 5). The results supported our hypothesis that age (maturity) affects high pressure resistance of ascospores of heat resistant moulds. A reduction of log(10) 2.5 cfu mL(-1) was achieved for three week old ascospores of B. nivea whereas for nine week old ascospores only a half log reduction was achieved. Similar results were observed for B. nivea and N. fischeri. The HPP treatment caused activation of ascospores of N. spinosa, with older ascospores showing increased activation.
