Foodborne illnesses, particularly those caused by Salmonella enterica subsp. Serovar Typhimurium, present a significant challenge to public health, especially within the seafood industry due biofilm formation on foods. This study investigated antibiofilm potential of fucoidan, sulfated polysaccharide, against Typhimurium crab and shrimp surfaces. Fucoidan’s minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined be 150 µg/mL. Sub-MIC (1/8, 1/4, 1/2, MIC) were evaluated for their impact inhibition formation. Fucoidan treatment resulted in significant, dose-dependent formation, achieving 2.61 log CFU/cm2 2.45 reductions surfaces, respectively. FE-SEM analysis confirmed disruption cell membrane damage. Real-time PCR showed downregulation quorum-sensing (luxS) virulence (rpoS, avrA, hilA) genes. These results propose that fucoidan has ability as natural antibacterial agent controlling biofilms processing, thereby enhancing food safety minimizing contamination.
