Antibiofilm activity of the biosurfactant and organic acids against foodborne pathogens at different temperatures, times of contact, and concentrations.

ABSTRACT: Biofilm formation has been suggested to play a significant role in the survival of pathogens in food production. Interest in evaluating alternative products of natural origin for disinfectant use has increased. However, there is a lack of information regarding the effects of biosurfactants and organic acids on Salmonella enterica serotype Enteritidis, Escherichia coli, and Campylobacter jejuni biofilms, mainly considering temperatures found in environments of poultry processing, as well as simulating the contact times used for disinfection. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antibiofilm activity of rhamnolipid, malic acid, and citric acid on the adhesion of S. Enteritidis, E. coli, and C. jejuni on polystyrene surfaces at different temperatures (4, 12, and 25 °C), compound concentra
