Effect of MCFA on lag time of E. coli and S. Enteritidis in vitro. Bacteria were diluted with different concentrations of MCFAs to a final density of 1 × 10⁵ cells/mL. Turbidity readings were monitored at 690 nm for 24 h with constant shaking at 37 °C. A = E. coli; B = S. Enteritidis. ● Caprylic acid; $▿$ Capric acid; ■ Lauric acid
