Abstract
Contacting an animal carcass with an aqueous solution containing an effective amount of an alkali silicate reduces bacterial contamination of the carcass or retards bacterial growth on the carcass or both reduces bacterial contamination and retards bacterial growth on the carcass, without substantial detriment to the organoleptic properties of the carcass. The method is also useful in treating edible plant materials, such as fruits and vegetables, to reduce bacterial contamination, retard bacterial growth or reduce bacterial contamination and retard bacterial growth on the plant materials.
