Fogging was effective and the best application method to control S. Typhimurium regardless of the acid used, promoting reductions of 1.66 and 1.23 log CFU\/g with PA and LA, respectively. Regarding E. coli, there were significant reductions higher than 1 log CFU\/g, regardless of the treatment or acid used. For S. aureus, only immersion in PA showed no significant difference (p &lt; 0.05). For other treatments, significant reductions of 0.98, 1.51, and 1.17 log CFU\/g were observed for nebulized PA, immersion, and LA fogging, respectively. Concerning the pH of the samples, neither of the acids used differed from the control. However, treatments with LA, and fogging with PA, reduced the pH compared to immersion in PA. As for color parameters, L* and a* values showed changes regardless of the acid or method used, resulting in an improved perception of fillet quality. These results indicate that fogging and immersion are alternatives for reducing S. Typhimurium, E. coli, and S. aureus in tilapia fillets.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/foods13101520","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,14]],"date-time":"2024-05-14T03:20:29Z","timestamp":1715656829000},"page":"1520","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Inactivation of Salmonella Typhimurium, Escherichia coli, and Staphylococcus aureus in Tilapia Fillets (Oreochromis niloticus) with Lactic and Peracetic Acid through Fogging and Immersion"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Matheus Barp","family":"Pierozan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Campus Rio Verde, Instituto Federal Goiano, Rio Verde 75901-970, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2725-2980","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jordana dos Santos","family":"Alves","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Campus Rio Verde, Instituto Federal Goiano, Rio Verde 75901-970, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3813-5109","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Liege Dauny","family":"Horn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Campus Rio Verde, Instituto Federal Goiano, Rio Verde 75901-970, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Priscila Alonso dos","family":"Santos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Campus Rio Verde, Instituto Federal Goiano, Rio Verde 75901-970, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3875-1104","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marco Ant\u00f4nio Pereira da","family":"Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Campus Rio Verde, Instituto Federal Goiano, Rio Verde 75901-970, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7589-2718","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mariana Buranelo","family":"Egea","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Campus Rio Verde, Instituto Federal Goiano, Rio Verde 75901-970, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0727-5651","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"C\u00edntia","family":"Minafra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Campus Samambaia, Universidade Federal de Goi\u00e1s, Goi\u00e2nia 74605-450, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1090-7752","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Leandro Pereira","family":"Cappato","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Campus Rio Verde, Instituto Federal Goiano, Rio Verde 75901-970, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Adriano Carvalho","family":"Costa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Campus Rio Verde, Instituto Federal Goiano, Rio Verde 75901-970, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1351","DOI":"10.1016\/S0020-7519(00)00122-3","article-title":"Emerging helminth zoonoses","volume":"30","author":"McCarthy","year":"2000","journal-title":"Int.
