Popis: The microbiological quality of a ready-to-eat salad treated with different sanitizers (sodium dichloroisocyanurate (SD), peracetic acid (PA) or isolated or combined with ultrasound (US)), and packaged alongside sachets containing β-cyclodextrin/Pimenta dioica essential oil inclusion complex was evaluated. Consumer acceptability was also assessed. Furthermore, treatments were investigated against Listeria monocytogenes intentionally inoculated. SD, SD + US, and PA treatments showed similar efficiency against psychrotrophic (log reduction 7. These findings are of great importance since they demonstrate the need for studies that evaluate the properties of EO when applied in a food system.
