Extracts of BFP were characterized in terms of polyphenolic content, individual constituents, and antioxidant and antimicrobial activity. The concentration of phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity were both found to be determinants of antimicrobial activity. It was further speculated that flavonols, predominantly quercetin and rutin, were responsible for the activity of BFP against <em>L. monocytogenes</em>. A combination of BFP and BL resulted in a rapid inactivation of the pathogen by up to 4 log CFU/mL at 58.5 J/cm<sup>2</sup>, corresponding to 15 min BL illumination.
