Poultry is one of the fastest growing industries due to advantages in land use, rapid production and advances in feed technology. The rising trend in the consumption of poultry meat over the last 50 years has also increased concerns about food safety. Campylobacter jejuni is the leading bacterial cause of gastroenteritis, the foremost cause of foodborne deaths. Despite significant progress in food safety methology, the genus Campylobacter remains a common foodborne pathogen in poultry. Increasing consumer demands for natural products require the discovery of new antimicrobials to ensure the safety of poultry meat. Recent studies have revealed that eugenol acts with antimicrobial activity on a wide variety of foodborne microorganisms. Eugenol is generally recognized as safe and is a promising preservative for the food industry. However, specific applications of eugenol need to be identified and validated to clarify the role of the food preservative in poultry meat safety.

由于土地利用优势、快速生产和饲料技术的进步，家禽是增长最快的行业之一。过去 50 年禽肉消费量的上升趋势也增加了人们对食品安全的担忧。空肠弯曲杆菌 是肠胃炎的主要细菌原因，是食源性死亡的首要原因。尽管食品安全方法学取得了重大进展，但弯曲杆菌属 仍然是家禽中常见的食源性病原体。消费者对天然产品的需求不断增加，需要发现新的抗菌剂来确保禽肉的安全。最近的研究表明，丁香酚对多种食源性微生物具有抗菌活性。丁香酚通常被认为是安全的，是一种很有前途的食品工业防腐剂。然而，需要确定和验证丁香酚的具体应用，以阐明食品防腐剂在禽肉安全中的作用。
