Inhibition mechanism of linalool on Vibrio parahaemolyticus biofilms and its removal of biofilms on the surfaces of shrimp and its processing materials

Key Points

• Biofilms are effectively inhibited by linalool, enhancing shrimp surface cleanliness.
• Linalool treatment demonstrated a significant reduction in biofilm formation, with over 80% effectiveness.
• Assessment using linalool on shrimp surfaces showed successful biofilm removal in environmental conditions.
• Targets Vibrio parahaemolyticus biofilms; further exploration needed in real-world shrimp processing settings.
