title: The effect of lysozyme and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid on Salmonella on broiler parts.
abstract: A dip system, consisting of lysozyme (1 mg/ml) and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) (5 mg/ml), was studied to determine its effect on Salmonella-contaminated broiler parts. Enumeration of S. typhimurium from the broiler parts showed that both lysozyme and a lysozyme-EDTA mixture gave a significant reduction in the number of viable organisms. In a trypticase-soy broth solution, Salmonella growth was inhibited by EDTA while lysozyme showed little effect.
