The purpose of this study was to evaluate S. aureus inhibition by phytoncides present in apple pulp. The apple fruit used in the tests were of the cultivars: Grey Rennet and Cox's Orange Pippin. The behaviour of the staphylococcus population in its interaction with apple pulp was tested after 30 and 120 minutes of storage at 37C. S. aureus growth was determined on an RPF Baird-Parker substrate. The tests demonstrated biocidal properties of Grey Rennet pulp against S. aureus. The other apple cultivar displayed weak biostatic properties, reducing the staphylococcus population by only 22.6% after two hours of incubation.
