Abstract

As blueberries are rich in phenolic compounds, which possess a demonstrated antimicrobial activity, it may be interesting to further elucidate its real potential and properties. As such, the main goal of this work was to evaluate the potential antimicrobial activity of Vaccinium corymbosum dry fruits and leaves aqueous extracts against several contaminants/pathogenic microorganisms while at the same time assessing the effect of V.corymbosum over lactic acid bacteria.
