Evaluation of Different Concentrations of Chitosan in Inhibiting Salmonella Typhimurium Growth in an In Vitro Crop Assay
| Treatment | Log10 ST/mL of crop assay content |
|---|---|
| Control | 8.22±0.065a |
| Chitosan 0.05% | 6.80±0.161b |
| Chitosan 0.1% | 6.18±0.226b |
| Chitosan 0.2% | 5.63±0.210d |
Five tubes were inoculated with 106 Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (ST) in each treatment.
Data are expressed as log10 mean±standard error.
Values within a column with no common superscript differ significantly (p<0.05).
