In the same study, Careaga et al. [9] investigated the antimicrobial
effect of Capsicum extract on P. aeruginosa inoculated in minced beef.
A reduction of P. aeruginosa growth was observed between 0.06-0.1 ml/
100 g meat, with a bacteriostatic effect between 0.5-1.5 ml/100 g meat.
As the extract concentration increased, a drastic bactericidal effect was
observed, particularly between 4-5 ml/100 g meat. The combination of
sodium chloride and C. annum extract tested eliminated P. aeruginosa
after 3 days of storage.
