Food Safety I

The agar diffusion assay was used to examine the effect of pH on the ability of alkaline salts of 3 fatty acids (FA) to inhibit growth of bacteria associated with poultry processing. FA solutions were prepared by dissolving 0.5 M concentrations of caprylic, capric, or lauric acid in separate aliquots of 1.0 M potassium hydroxide (KOH). Citric acid was added to the FA-KOH mixtures to reduce the ...
