Formation of biofilms by Staphylococcus aureus on stainless steel and glass surfaces and its resistance to some selected chemical sanitizers

TL;DR: In this article, the authors verify the capability of Staphylococcus aureus of forming bio-film on stainless steel and glass surfaces, and evaluate the efficiency of sodium dichloroisocyanurate, hydrogen peroxide and peracetic acid in inactivating S.aureus cells adhered onto these surfaces.
Journal ArticleDOI

Disinfectant action of Cymbopogon sp. essential oils in different phases of biofilm formation by Listeria monocytogenes on stainless steel surface

TL;DR: Essential oils of C. citratus and C. nardus alone or in combination are new alternatives for disinfection of industrial stainless steel surfaces contaminated by L. monocytogenes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antimicrobial activity of Satureja montana L. essential oil against Clostridium perfringens type A inoculated in mortadella-type sausages formulated with different levels of sodium nitrite.

TL;DR: The potential combined use of savory EO and minimal amounts of the synthetic additive, NaNO₂ to control C. perfringens in mortadella is suggested, which goes according to current market trends, where consumers are requesting natural products.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antioxidant effects of Satureja montana L. essential oil on TBARS and color of mortadella-type sausages formulated with different levels of sodium nitrite

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of adding winter savory (Satureja montana L.) essential oil (EO) at concentrations of 7.80, 15.60 and 31.25μl/g on color and lipid oxidation (TBARS) in mortadella-type sausages formulated with different sodium nitrite (NaNO2) levels (0, 100 and 200μ/kg) and stored at 25°C for 30 days.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pectinolytic enzymes secreted by yeasts from tropical fruits

TL;DR: The hydrolysis of pectin by polygalacturonase secreted by S. smithiae suggested an exo-splitting mechanism and the other yeast species studied showed low polygalACTuronase activity.
