Antimicrobial Activity
Its low toxicity in conjunction with its remarkable antimicrobial properties, make LAE a valuable tool for the food industry for improved safety and product quality. The following tables (p. 58) show the minimal inhibitory concentrations of LAE versus different types of microorganisms, mostly pathogens, which give insight into compound potency and activity range. These results were obtained by an independent laboratory from the faculty of pharmacy and biology at the University of Barcelona.
