Meat is prone to both microbial and oxidative spoilage and therefore it is desirable to use a preservative with both antioxidant and
antimicrobial properties. Mint extract alone had good antioxidant activity but poor antimicrobial activity, while chitosan alone showed
poor antioxidant activity with excellent antimicrobial properties. Therefore, the potential of chitosan and mint mixture (CM), as a
preservative for meat and meat products, was investigated. Addition of chitosan to mint extract did not interfere with the antioxidant
activity of mint. In the case of 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay, the IC50 value for CM (17.8 lg/ml) was significantly
(p 6 0.05) lower than that for mint extract (23.6 lg/ml). CM efficiently scavenged superoxide and hydroxyl radicals. The antimicrobial
activities of CM and chitosan were comparable against the common food spoilage and pathogenic bacteria, the minimum inhibitory
concentration being 0.05%. CM was more effective against Gram-positive bacteria. The shelf life of pork cocktail salami, as determined
by total bacterial count and oxidative rancidity, was enhanced in CM-treated samples stored at 0–3 C.

Chitosan is a versatile biopolymer, having a broad range
of applications in the food industry (Rudrapatnam Far-
ooqahmed, 2003). It exhibits antimicrobial activity against
a range of food-borne microorganisms and consequently
has attracted attention as a potential natural food preser-
