Several formulations were prepared from the extracts. Through selection screening,one of the formulations having the strongest antimicrobial activity was chosen. Its MIC (Minimum Inhibitory Concentration) against common microorganisms causing food contamination was detected,and shows that the formulation has great activity against the microorganisms.
