Abstract | ||||
Efficacy of an edible coating based on sodium alginate and mixed up with essential oil 1% of either thyme or cinnamon oil on the quality, shelf life and microbiological safety on chicken breast fillets stored at 4 ºC for 12 days , as well as cinnamon oil on fresh sliced apple throughout the storage period at 4 ºC for 15 days were investigated. Data indicated that coating solution based on 3% sodium alginate incorporated with either 1% thyme or cinnamon oil had the maximum antimicrobial action (P<0.05) against pathogenic bacteria, yeast, and mold. According to the results coated chicken breast fillets sample showed good quality with lower TBARS, TVBN, weight loss, lower L* and a * values and higher WHC until 12 day of storage. Also, adding cinnamon oil to sodium alginate enhanced the sensory quality and increase the shelf life of fresh sliced apple during preservation. | ||||
