Effect of bilayer coating composed of polyvinyl alcohol, chitosan, and sodium alginate on salted duck eggs

Abstract

The composite bilayer film based on polyvinyl alcohol, sodium alginate, and chitosan were developed in this study, and the effects of the related coating on internal-quality changes of salted duck eggs (SDEs) during storage were determined. The results showed that the overall properties of the bilayer film were better than those of monolayer films, including storage stability. Coatings could significantly (p < 0.05) reduce quality deterioration of SDEs such as water loss, oil exudation, and gritty. The bilayer coating was more effective in inhibiting the increase of egg yolk pH and total bacterial counts than monolayer coatings. After storage for 60 days, water content of bilayer coated SEDs was 19.7% higher than that of the control SDEs, oil exudation was 38% higher, and gritty texture was 27.9% higher. Moreover, bilayer coating could prolong the shelf life of SDEs to more than 60 days at 25°C and 50% relative humidity according to the results of total bacterial count experiment, while the shelf life of control SDEs was less than 45 days. This study indicated the potential application of bilayer composite coating for preservation of SDEs. ARTICLE HISTORY

Effect of Cross-Linked Alginate/Oil Nanoemulsion Coating on Cracking and Quality Parameters of Sweet Cherries

“…Another way to improve the water vapor barrier properties of the film involves adding lipids and nanofillers to form composite or nanocomposite films [ 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 ]. Smaller lipid globules and a more homogeneous distribution of the oil droplets in the films generally lead to better water vapor barrier properties [ 26 ].…”

“…To reduce these post‐harvest losses, many food preservation techniques have been implemented and practiced. Edible coating is a modern preservation technique that has gained attention in recent times because it is environmental and consumer‐friendly and it is non‐toxic nature (Jiang et al ., 2018). Coating or edible coating on fruits or vegetables acts as a physical barrier towards gases, volatile compounds, water vapours and microbial growth.…”
