Oregano oil against salmonella

A study done at the University of Utrecht, the Netherlands shows that oregano oil is a very effective inhibitor of bacteria. Bacteria like salmonella and E.coli are killed by adding the oil to chicken fillets for example.

Researcher Sara Burt discovered the active component carvacrol which has a detrimental effect on such bacteria which can cause severe food poisoning. Carvacrol can be added to other articles of food in the form of vapor.

Carvacrol vapor reduces the amount of salmonella bacteria on a chicken fillet drastically at 4C, is one of the conclusions of the research.
