Their antioxidant activities were also evaluated. Many spices contained high levels of phenolics and showed antimicrobial activity against foodborne pathogens. Gram (+) bacteria were more tolerant to the tested extracts than Gram (-) ones. S. typhimurium was the most sensitive, while P. aeruginosa was the most resistant.
