Influence of and on survival of ATCC 25923.

So far, no studies have assessed the antibacterial properties of macerates of flower petals intended for human consumption. Previous studies have focused on the role of extracted flower components in inhibiting bacterial growth, not considering the petal tissue as a mixture of different components. The aim of this study was to assess the inhibitory effect of unpreserved macerates and juices derived from edible flower petals of and on the population of ATCC 25923.
