“…The formulations with PA-MD 1.50% and 2.50% presented satisfactory inhibitory results compared with the negative control, and both demonstrated inhibitory results that were higher than those that were obtained with NO2, the inhibitor that is most widely used in the meat products industry. Compared to NO2, PA is a natural ingredient with great potential for application in the meat industry, both for its antimicrobial and antioxidant potential, especially with its chelating power [27,45]. In this sense, a new Figure 5 shows C. perfringens growth curve of sausage formulations that were adjusted to the logistic model, presenting a better visualization of the inhibitory effect of PA-MD, SS, and NO 2 against C. perfringens spores on sausages.…”
