After a 15-min exposure to 10 mM Salmide® in distilled deionized water at 37°C, a 2.5-to 6.6-log-cycle reduction in population was observed for all of the 16 strains tested, with the exception of L. monocytogenes ATCC 19111, which appeared to be resistant (<1-log-cycle reduction). When Salmonella hadar was simultaneously exposed to 10 mM Salmide® and 5 or 10 mM disodium EDTA at 37°C for 4 min, the biocidal activity of Salmide® was enhanced twofold (6-log-cycle reduction) compared to that observed with 10 mM Salmide® alone. Treatment with 10 mM disodium EDTA alone produced no significant inactivation <1-log-cycle reduction). Exposure of Salmonella hadar to 55 mM Na3PO4 alone or in combination with 10 mM Salmide® yielded a greater than 6-log-cycle reduction, whereas treatment with 10 mM Salmide® alone yielded a4.1-log-cycle reduction. The presence of protein (as bovine serum albumin) in treatments containing Salmide® significantly reduced the biocidal activity. These results demonstrate that Salmide® has a rapid and concentration-dependent biocidal activity against both gram-positive and gram-negative food-borne bacterial pathogens and spoilage organisms.}, number={5}, journal={JOURNAL OF FOOD PROTECTION}, author={MULLERAT, J and SHELDON, BW and KLAPES, NA}, year={1995}, month={May}, pages={535–540} }

Following a 10-min exposure to increasing Salmide® concentrations (ranging from 27 to 81 mM) at 37°C, the S. typhimurium NAr population on the broiler skin was reduced by 57.3 to 85.2%. Each Salmide® test concentration applied in combination with 1.34 mM EDTA produced S. typhimurium NAr population reductions in excess of 97%. A similar trend (93.1 to 98.2% reductions) was observed for treatments containing 27, 54 or 81 mM Salmide® and 0.347 mM SLS. However, when S. typhimurium NAr was exposed to 210 mM Na3PO4 alone, a 99.5% population reduction was observed. This value was not significantly different from those obtained for treatments containing 210 mM Na3PO4 and 27, 54 or 81 mM Salmide®. In addition, 27 mM Salmide® was evaluated alone or in combination with 1.34 mM EDTA for the extension of broiler drumstick shelf-life. Based on the enumeration of mesophilic and psychrotrophic populations, the combined Salmide® and EDTA treatment was shown to produce a slight extension in broiler drumstick shelf-life compared to an untreated control. Treatment effects detected by drumstick skin Hunter color reflectance measurements during refrigerated storage were inconsistent.}, number={7}, journal={JOURNAL OF FOOD PROTECTION}, author={MULLERAT, J and KLAPES, NA and SHELDON, BW}, year={1994}, month={Jul}, pages={596–603} }
