Figure 3 shows the reductions in mixed-strain Salmonella
count by an antimicrobial mixture of LAE and
carvacrol. The LAE concentration of 200 and 2,000 ppm
or carvacrol concentrations of 1% were selected based
on the prior experiments in which these compounds
when applied individually did not yield any measurable
reductions in Salmonella counts in 7% ground turkey
samples (Figure 3). The combination of 200 ppm of
