Use of berries to reduce the contamination of bakery products

Abstract

In recent times, wheat flour bakery products have been increasingly affected by Mesentericus disease (bread ropiness), which is a serious problem for bakeries. This problem is generated by a relatively heterogeneous microbial population of bacteria belonging to the Bacillus genus. It is known that there is a direct correlation between the content of bioactive compounds and the antibacterial potential. In the case of fruit of the dog rose, the R. canina and R. damascena varieties showed antimicrobial activity against E. coli, B. cereus, P. aeruginosa, S. typhimurium and MRSA.
