Abstract
In vivo application of extract effectively reduced microbial growth during refrigerated storage; total mesophilic count was maintained below the limit established by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2073/2005 of 5â¯Ãâ¯106 log CFU/g of beef up to 8â¯d, in comparison to control sample that reached the mentioned limit after 4â¯d. Moreover, extract addition preserved beef color and texture over the considered storage period, supporting the potential prospect to utilize the extract to improve overall quality and to prolong domestic shelf life of sliced beef.
