Development of Antimicrobial Coatings for Improving the Microbiological Safety and Quality of Shell Eggs

Development of Antimicrobial Coatings for Improving the Microbiological Safety and Quality of Shell Eggs.jpg
This study was conducted to develop antimicrobial coatings to decontaminate and prevent cross-contamination of shell eggs. Egg shells were inoculated with nalidixic acid resistant Salmonella enterica Enteritidis strains OB030832, OB040159, and C405, and then treated with antimicrobial coatings. Polylactic acid (PLA) served as a non-edible polymer…
