Abstract

Quality and shelf-life of Asian sea bass slices (ASBS) wrapped with chitosan (CS)/CS–epigallocatechin gallate (CE) conjugate composite or CS films and packaged in air or under vacuum during storage at 4 °C were studied. Total viable count was less than permissible limit (6 log·CFU g−1 sample) for ASBS wrapped with CS/CE conjugate composite film under vacuum (ASBS-COMP-VP) after 18 days. Moreover, lower microbial proliferation and volatile base contents were attained in ASBS-COMP-VP sample than other samples during the storage (P < 0.05). At the end of storage, ASBS-COMP-VP sample had lower lipid oxidation than those wrapped with CS film (P < 0.05). Polyunsaturated fatty acid content of ASBS-COMP-VP was retained at higher content at day 18. Therefore, ASBS-COMP-VP had the enhanced shelf-life with high acceptability up to 18 days at 4 °C, while ASBS wrapped with CS film and packaged in air or under vacuum had the shelf-life of 9 and 12 days, respectively.
