(IR) Potential Application of Essential Oils for Mitigation of Listeria monocytogenes in Meat and Poultry Products: This study has revealed that EOs could be potentially used as a replacement for chemical preservatives in meat and poultry products to mitigate or inhibit the growth of LMO. The possible negative effect of EOs, especially in high concentrations, on the organoleptic properties of meat and poultry products, has been taken into consideration, and the study conclusion focuses on the combination of low amounts of EOs with other natural antimicrobial substances and technologies.
