Abstract

Introduction: Food safety is a frequent public health problem worldwide, since food products are prone to contamination by pathogens.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of concentrations of 10, 40 and 60 mg/mL of ethanolic extract of Moringa oleifera seed on the survival of Listeria monocytogenes ATCC 19115.

Methods: An experimental investigation was conducted with controlled procedures to evaluate the efficacy of ethanolic extract of Moringa oleifera against the Listeria monocytogenes strain ATCC 19115. To obtain the ethanolic extract of Moringa oleifera, the Soxhlet extraction method was used. Antibacterial survival was determined by culturing Listeria monocytogenes, reactivated in BHI broth and standardized to tube No. 0.5 of Mac Farland's nephelometer. Bacterial survival versus the extract was determined using the Mueller-Hinton broth tube dilution method and measured by plate count compared to a control.

Results: The decrease of colonies was observed in the three concentrations used in direct proportion with the concentration; the higher the concentration, the greater the effect.

Conclusions: It was determined that there are significant differences between each concentration of ethanolic extract with the control, being the concentration of 60 mg / mL the one with the greatest inhibitory effect on Listeria monocytogenes than the concentrations of 10 and 40 mg / mL (p < 0.05).
