The antibacterial effect and minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of extract against Listeria monocytogenes were studied. The effectiveness of these extracts (0.025 - 0.05%) in butter made from pasteurized cream were evaluated by incubating (10⁵ cfu/g) of Listeria monocytogenes UR - http://nile.enal.sci.eg/EALE/2009/MUJAS/3409/2/1049.pdf ER -
