Antimicrobial activities of nano-dispersed thymol used at an overall thymol concentration of 0.5 g/liter in apple cider adjusted to pH 3.5, against Escherichia coli O157:H7 ATCC 43889 (A) and ATCC 43894 (B) and Listeria monocytogenes strains Scott A (C) and 101 (D). Error bars represent standard deviations of the means from four measurements, two from each of two replicates. ND thymol: ○, 4°C; ×, 25°C; □, 35 or 32°C. Controls: bacterial culture with no thymol at 4°C (+), 25°C (Inline graphic), and 35°C for E. coli or 32°C for L. monocytogenes (△).
