The antioxidant and antimicrobial effect of Damsissa leaf powder extract (DLPE) for application to cold-stored minced beef was investigated. DLPE exhibited inhibition zones of 14.0 and 12.7 mm against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, respectively. Total polyphenol and flavonoid contents of DLPE were 188.06 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/g and 2.56 mg catechin equivalent (CE)/g, respectively. DLPE exhibited a concentration-dependent increase (P ≤ 0.05) in total reducing power ability (TRPA), scavenging of H2O2, and chelation of Fe2+ ions. Incorporation of different concentrations of DLPE in minced beef significantly (P ≤ 0.05) enhanced the physicochemical characteristics, sensory features, and microbial quality of the minced beef during cold storage (4°C). DLPE (2.5%) was effective (P ≤ 0.05) in delaying lipid oxidation and preventing microbial growth in stored minced beef. Therefore, DLPE at 2.5% concentration is recommended as a useful preservative to prolong the shelf-life of minced beef during cold storage.
