Overview

Exploratory study assesses garlic and korarima's effect on bacterial loads in beef, suggesting spice-based preservation methods.

Key Points

  • This research aims to evaluate the antibacterial effectiveness of garlic and korarima against Salmonella spp. and E. coli in beef.
  • In-situ treatment study with minced beef inoculated with bacterial isolates.
  • Application of garlic and korarima powders at varying concentrations.
  • Observation of bacterial load reductions over one, twenty-four, and forty-eight hours at room temperature.
  • Garlic significantly decreased E. coli by up to 1.86 log CFU/g over forty-eight hours.
  • Garlic also reduced Salmonella spp. by up to 1.11 log CFU/g during the same period.
  • Korarima showed minimal effects compared to garlic in reducing bacterial counts.
