Popis: | The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of orange peel extract (OPE) and pomegranate peel extract (PPE) as natural preservatives on the characteristics of a functional drink (FB). These FBs were produced using fruit concentrates and agricultural waste (melon seed and tea stalk caffeine) as well as malt extract and powder. First, OPE’s and PPE’s antimicrobial activity (AMA) was tested in vitro on two pathogenic bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli). Then their effects were investigated on the FBs’ quality. Although both extracts showed significant AMA against bacteria, it was higher in OPE than PPE sample (p |
