This study aims to investigate the effect of chitosan edible coating with medicinal leaf extracts, their antibiofilm and antimicrobial activity against the selected strains of Salmonella spp. and E. coli isolated from the chicken sample. The presence of bioactive compounds in leaf extracts was confirmed by antioxidant assay, polyphenolic content, UV-VIS, FTIR, and GC-MS anal. Chitosan with M. piperita and P. amboinicus (ECMO) had a greater zone of inhibition against the multidrug-resistant strains (Salmonella spp., 22.10 ± 1.15; E. coli, 24.50 ± 0.500) and biofilm inhibition percentage was ≤96% in both Salmonella spp. and E. coli. In shelf-life anal., ECMO significantly lowered the growth of pathogens during 15 days of storage period. The results suggest that ECMO was identified as the impeding agent for biofilms and foodborne pathogens. To our knowledge, this is the first study demonstrating the antibiofilm and antibacterial properties of chitosan with M. piperita and P. amboinicus. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 5-Isopropyl-2-methylphenol (cas: 499-75-2Synthetic Route of C10H14O).
5-Isopropyl-2-methylphenol (cas: 499-75-2) belongs to alcohols. Alcohols are weak acids. The most acidic simple alcohols (methanol and ethanol) are about as acidic as water, and most other alcohols are somewhat less acidic. Under carefully controlled conditions, simple alcohols can undergo intermolecular dehydration to give ethers. This reaction is effective only with methanol, ethanol, and other simple primary alcohols.Synthetic Route of C10H14O
