Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
The present study was conducted to evaluate the antimicrobial and antioxidant activity of methanolic extracts of Caesalpinia sappan . Chicken meat samples obtained from local retail market were treated with methanolic extracts of C.sappan alone and in combination with antibiotic (Chlortetracycline), acetic acid and chlorinated water to study the antioxidant effect and reduction in the surface microflora. Various parameters like pH, lipid peroxidation (TBARS), Peroxide value, Free Fatty Acids (FFA), Standard Plate count, Yeast and mould count, Psychrophilic counts, Coliform count, MRSA and Salmonella counts were evaluated. It was observed that methanolic extract of C. sappan and methanolic extract of C. sappan with antibiotic significantly exhibited beneficial effects on preservation of meat as compared to other conventional treatments.
