Even though a lot of research has been carried out on the individ-
ual application of organic acids, bacteriophage, chlorine compounds, and
quaternary ammonium compounds in reducing Salmonella spp., very
few studies have been completed on application of chemical and biologi-
cal (phage) agents in combination or as multiple hurdles. In this study, we
evaluated the use of chemical antimicrobials and bacteriophage in combi-
nation to achieve synergistic antimicrobial action against Salmonella
.We did not conduct any sensory analysis in this study as the concentrations
of antimicrobials tested in this study have been shown by previous studies not affecting the organoleptic properties of the meat (Bauermeister et al., 2008; Sharma et al., 2013a). However, studies are lacking on the effect of phage application on the organoleptic properties of meat products.
Future studies may be necessitated to explore the sensory attributes of
poultry and food products treated with phage and antimicrobials together
before recommending these applications in commercial setting.
