Food-Based Films Stop E. Coli

September 18, 2008: 04:38 PM EST
According to a study published in Journal of Food Science, a tomato-based film containing carvacrol, the main constituent of oregano oil, may be an effective way to control bacterial build-up on food, say researchers from the Agriculture Research Service (ARS) of the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Western Regional Research Center, Processed Foods. Their work shows that carvacrol in the film inactivates the virulent pathogen E. coli O157:H7. Other food-based films may have similar effects, the researchers say.
