Lauric arginate ethyl ester: An update on the antimicrobial potential and application in the food systems.
Review in Frontiers in microbiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 7 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Lauric arginate ethyl ester (LAE), a cationic surfactant with low toxicity, displays excellent antimicrobial activity against a broad range of microorganisms. LAE has been approved as generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for widespread application in certain foods at a maximum concentration of 200 ppm. In this context, extensive research has been carried out on the application of LAE in food preservation for improving the microbiological safety and quality characteristics of various food products. This study aims to present a general review of recent research progress on the antimicrobial efficacy of LAE and its application in the food industry. It covers the physicochemical properties, antimicrobial efficacy of LAE, and the underlying mechanism of its action. This review also summarizes the application of LAE in various foods products as well as its influence on the nutritional and sensory properties of such foods. Additionally, the main factors influencing the antimicrobial efficacy of LAE are reviewed in this work, and combination strategies are provided to enhance the antimicrobial potency of LAE. Finally, the concluding remarks and possible recommendations for the future research are also presented in this review. In summary, LAE has the great potential application in the food industry. Overall, the present review intends to improve the application of LAE in food preservation.
