Abstract
In recent years, use of edible coatings as carriers of food additives and antimicrobial compounds has been considered in fishery products. This study was carried out to evaluate the effects of 2.00% chitosan coating singly and combined with 0.10% grape seed extract (GSE) on microbial (mesophils and psychrophils counts), chemical (thiobarbituric acid; TBA), pH and peroxide value (PV) and sensorial properties of rainbow trout fillet stored at 4 °C over a period of 15 days. The coating had a significant effect in reducing aerobic mesophilic and psychrophilic bacteria counts. The TBA, PV and pH of samples of chitosan coating alone and with GSE were lower than control ones indicating a significant influence of coating on fillet shelf-life. Moreover, chitosan coating represented an equal sensorial quality with controls. It can be concluded that chitosan coating containing GSE can help to maintain the sensorial quality and increase the shelf-life of rainbow trout fillets at refrigerated conditions.
