The Effects of Essential Oils and Spice Extracts on the Prevention of Slimy Spoilage of Wieners

Abstract

The essential oils, methylene chloride extracts of some spices and some citrous oils were employed.
Citrous oils did not prevent slimy spoilage, but these constituents, N-methylanthranilic acid, octylaldehyde and citronellal, showed a little preventive effects. The essential oils of celery, cinnamon and cumin, and the extract of dill showed the considerable effect to prevent the slimy spoilage. The combined effects with sorbic acid or lysozyme were observed in the case of many spice essential oils and extracts.
