Phenolic extract of L. and furanone reduce biofilm formation by and increase its susceptibility to antimicrobials.

is a spoilage microorganism of relevance in the dairy industry because it is psychrotrophic, able to form biofilm, and produces thermoresistant proteases and lipases. Phenolic compounds and furanones have been studied as inhibitors of biofilm formation. In this study, the potential of the pulp phenolic extract of L.

Quorum Quenching and Microbial Control through Phenolic Extract of Eugenia Uniflora Fruits.

We describe the characterization of the centesimal composition, mineral and phenolic content of Eugenia uniflora fruit and the determination of the antioxidant, antimicrobial and quorum quenching activities of the pulp phenolic extract. Centesimal composition was determined according to standard methods; trace elements were measured by total reflection X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy. The phenolic compounds were extracted by solid-phase chromatography and quantified by spectrophotometry.
