Could Decontamination with Salad Dressing effect on S. aureus Load?

Aim: This study was planned to determine the effects of mint and parsley extracts, vinegar, chlorine on S. aureus load in lettuce leaves. It also carried out evaluate effectiveness a salad dressing with appropriate organoleptic properties, developed by researcher based extracts. Material Method: The samples, which is difficult vegetable clean. inoculated before disinfection. 200 ppm/L chlorine, mint, extracts as 50 mL/L from each were used treatments for 5 10 minutes. dressing, prepared using specimens either dipped or kept p<0.05 accepted statistically significant. Results: According results, reduction levels caused disinfectants found be significant (p<0.05). In comparison control group, reductions all applications significant, best seen 15 minutes vinegar (p=0.01). When analyzed, it that (p<0.00). overall score terms properties 3.9±0.96 points. Conclusion: results prove disinfecting effect natural has been shown their use can effectively reduce microbial contamination during serving.
