Abstract: | The antilisteric activity of clove oil was examined in meat and cheese at both 30°C and 7°C. At concentrations of 0·5% and 1% clove oil restricted the growth of Listeria monocytogenes in the food items at both temperatures. The inhibitory activity of clove oil was more pronounced at a concentration of 1%.Listeria counts in treated samples were 1–3 log10cfu g−1less compared to controls at different intervals during storage. The results revealed the potential of clove oil as a natural preservative in meat and cheese. |
