Effect of Garlic and Lactobacillus plantarum on Growth of Salmonella typhimurium in Egyptian fresh Sausage and Beefburger

Abstract
The effects of 3.4 and 5% garlic on the behavior of Salmonella typhimurium in Egyptian fresh sausage and beefburger held at 25°C were investigated. Four per cent garlic was bacteriostatic in both products; 5% garlic caused a decrease in the count of organisms of 1 log cycle within 4 d. Counts of S. typhimurium in fresh sausage containing Lactobacillus plantarum (107/g) increased 1 log cycle after 24 h, then the count remained constant through 4 d at 25°C. L. plantarum, together with 0.3% glucono-delta-lactone and 2.5% nitrate curing salt, resulted in a 1-log decline in counts during a storage period of 4 d at 25°C.
