 -  Journal of Food Science, 73(6), p.M264--M267, 2008 .
<br/><br/> Seven citrus essential oils (EOs)were screened by disc diffusion assay for their antibacterial activity against 11 serotypes/strains of Salmonella. The 3most active oilswere selected to determine theminimal inhibitory concentration (MIC)against the same Salmonella. Orange terpenes, single-folded d-limonene, and orange essence terpenes all exhibited inhibitory activity against the Salmonella spp. on the disc diffusion assay. EOs were stabilized in broth by the addition of 0.15
