Abstract:This study explored the effect of chitosan coating incorporated with pineapple peel extract on the postharvest quality of white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) during nine days of storage at 5°C. Incorporation of pineapple peel extract in chitosan coating was able to delay the decline of some important postharvest quality measures of white shrimp which includes reduced formation of total volatile basic nitrogen and peroxide value. It also decreased melanosis formation and hindered growth of Pseudomonas which ass… Show more
