Modulating spoilage microbiota and antimicrobial susceptibility in brown bear ( Ursus arctos ) shoulder meat ( musculus triceps brachii ) using monoterpene-enriched alginate coatings

Key Points

• This research aims to assess how monoterpene-enriched alginate coatings impact spoilage organisms and antimicrobial properties in brown bear shoulder meat.
• Applied pure monoterpenes within alginate coatings
• Evaluated effects on spoilage microbiota
• Assessed antimicrobial susceptibility
• Monoterpene coatings reduced spoilage microbiota
• Increased antimicrobial effectiveness observed
• Potential for improved meat preservation demonstrated
