Antimicrobial activities of oregano and nutmeg essential oils combined with emulsifier/stabilizer compound in ready-to-cook barbecued chicken
The effects of essential oils (EOs) of oregano and nutmeg with and without commercial emulsifier/stabilizer compound (E/S) on the microbial quality of ready-to-cook barbecued chicken were evaluated. Barbecued chicken was traditionally prepared. 3 μL/g and 10 mg/g of EOs and/or E/S were then added to the barbecued chicken, respectively. The samples were stored at 3°C for 144 h, 8 and 20ºC for 72...
متن کاملIs the pulsed xenon ultraviolet light no-touch disinfection system effective on methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in the absence of manual cleaning?
BACKGROUND Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has been shown to survive on ambient surfaces for extended periods of time. Leftover MRSA environmental contamination in a hospital room places future patients at risk. Manual disinfection supplemented by pulsed xenon ultraviolet (PX-UV) light disinfection has been shown to greatly decrease the MRSA bioburden in hospital rooms. Howev...
متن کاملTime Effectiveness of Ultraviolet C Light (UVC) Emitted by Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) in Reducing Stethoscope Contamination
Today it is well demonstrated that stethoscopes can be as contaminated as hands, which are a recognized source of Health-Care Associated Infections (HCAIs). Ultraviolet C (UVC) light has proven disinfection capacity and the innovative UVC technology of Light Emitting Diode (LED) shows several potential benefits. To verify whether the use of UVC LEDs is effective and reliable in stethoscope memb...

Background: Decontamination is a process that infectious organisms are removed by physical and chemical methods. The advantages and disadvantages of each of these values can lead to a clear viewpoint of an appropriate sterilization process. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of 70% alcohol, Deconex (SOLARSEPT) and H2O2, also the additive effect of supplemental UV light o...
