Abstract: The effects of modified atmosphere packaging (MAP:80% CO2/20% N2) and chitosan (CS:10.0g/L) edible coating on the quality of pomfret (Pampus argenteus) fillets during chilled storage were studied.Quality assessment was based on the properties of physicochemical [pH,K-value,total volatile base nitrogen (TVB-N), tri-methylamine (TMA-N)],microbiological (Total Viable Count,TVC) and sensory evaluation.The results showed that MAP and CS can delay the deteriorating speeds of P.argenteus, inhibit the increase of K-value and keep its sensory quality significantly.When compared with the control samples,the shelf-life of pomfret samples in MAP and CS stored at 4±1 oC were 10,12 d respectively.
