Harnessing Pelargonium Odoratissimum Extracts for Sustainable Ground Meat Preservation.

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
Pelargonium odoratissimum is traditionally recognized for its medicinal properties, yet its potential in food preservation remains underexplored. This study evaluated the phytochemical composition, antioxidant capacity, and antibacterial activity of its solvent extracts, with emphasis on the ethyl acetate fraction. The extract was rich in bioactive compounds, containing 11.84 µg GAE/g of total polyphenols and 3.08 µg QE/g of total flavonoids. Antibacterial testing demonstrated strong inhibitory effects, with minimum inhibitory concentrations ranging from 2.5 to 6.25 mg/mL and minimum bactericidal concentrations between 3.12 and 7.5 mg/mL, confirming bactericidal potential. Antioxidant assessment using the DPPH assay revealed potent radical-scavenging activity (IC50 = 10.65 µg/mL). When incorporated as a natural preservative in ground beef, the ethyl acetate fraction effectively reduced microbial growth and lipid oxidation during 14 days of refrigerated storage (4°C), lowering aerobic plate counts by up to 2.74 log CFU/g compared with the control. Sensory evaluation further confirmed its ability to preserve meat color, odor, and texture. Collectively, these findings highlight Pelargonium odoratissimum ethyl acetate extract as a promising natural preservative for improving food quality, safety, and shelf life, offering a sustainable alternative to synthetic additives.
