Besides, the use of natural preservatives in conjunction with the additional extracts was also explored to see if the microbiological reliability of hamburger patties could be guaranteed. According to the findings of the research, Origanum majorana L. and Artemisia dracunculus L. extracts were found to have strong antibacterial effects on Gr (+) and Gr (-) pathogenic bacteria inoculated into hamburger patties, and it was discovered that they inhibited at various rates. The antibacterial impact found by the study turned out to be greater on Gr (+) bacteria as compared to Gr (-) bacteria. It was also verified that 2% Artemisia dracunculus L. extract provided the highest antibacterial effect on Listeria monocytegenes with a decrease of 3.38 log cfu/g. Furthermore, it became apparent that the antibacterial impact grew in direct proportion to the concentration applied to the extracts employed, and that the antibacterial effect generated by the Artemisia dracunculus L. extract was stronger and more potent than the Origanum majorana L. extract.","PeriodicalId":489079,"journal":{"name":"Kocatepe veteriner dergisi","volume":"44 25","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136281441","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
