Foodborne infectious diseases are seen around the world. One of the most common contaminants found in chicken meat products is Campylobacter jejuni. This study tries to: To assess the utilization of Mint extract in various concentrations as natural antimicrobial against C. jejueni, 100 chicken samples were collected From the city center of AL- Diwaniyah, 50 samples of fresh poultry meat and 50 samples of frozen poultry meat, and the evaluation was done on them after preparation.The antimicrobial activity of methanolic, ethanolic, and aqueous extracts of mint was evaluated in multi-well micro-titer plates using the well diffusion method. Mint extract was evaluated for antimicrobial property against C. jejuni at different concentrations (80%, 40%, and 20%), and the highest inhibitory effect was observed in the ethanolic extract of mint, followed by the methanolic extract, while the aqueous extract was active only at a high concentration of 80% using the well diffusion method. Due to the biologically active properties of the compounds in mint, which are antimicrobial, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antioxidant, and antifungal, mint extracts exhibit biological activity against C. jejueni.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
