Cocktails of Salmonella enterica,
Escherichia coli O157:H7, or Listeria monocytogenes inoculated on cantaloupes were reduced to the detection
limit (1.3 log CFU/cm2) and completely inhibited during the 15-day storage by the CBO + SBO treatment,
while L.monocytogenes and S. enterica reached populations of 2.9 log CFU/cm2 and 2.4 log CFU/cm2, respectively,
on cantaloupes coated with CBO alone.
