Abstract
The objective of this work is to demonstrate the importance of the aqueous extract of Opuntia ficus indica species in the preservation of beef and to maintain the microbiological quality of beef by slowing the rate of proliferation of microorganisms of intrinsic and extrinsic alteration (Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeorogenosa, Bacilus substilis, Listeria monocytogenes, Eschirichia coli, Enteroccocus fecalis and Selmonela thyphi). For this, we applied the extract directly to the beef and then performed a series of sensory analyses. The aqueous extract of Opuntia ficus indica L. leaf showed better antibacterial activity with an inhibition zone ranging from 16–21 mm at a concentration of 100%.
              The study's findings indicate good bacterial and sensory quality. The majority of the tasters preferred the meat preserved with the aqueous extract.
