Abstract

Fish corruption is due to biological reactions such as microbial growth, lipid oxidation and the activity of fish autolysis
enzymes, resulting in a shorter shelf life of fish and other marine products. In the present study, the effects of nanochitosan
coating on the quality of fillets of Cynoglossus arel fish were measured during superchilling (-3°C). Thus, largescale
tonsole fillets were coated at three groups including the following: nanochitosan (% w/v chitosan and 2% sodium
tripolyphosphate, Nanochitosan), treated with 1% glacial acetic acid and distilled water as control sample. The control
and coated sample were periodically evaluated for microbiological (total bacterial count (TVC)), physicochemical (total
volatile nitrogen (TVBN), thiobarbituric acid (TBA), and trimethylamine (TMA)) and sensory properties (flavor and
odor) (the number of sapmles= 45). Results showed that the samples coated with nano-chitosan, had lower Total viable
bacteria, volatile nitrogen, thiobarbituric acid, trimethylamine and sensory properties than the control group.In general,
the results showed that fish coating with nano-chitosan solution could effectively preserve the optimum quality of the
samples and increase their useful life compared to the control group during superchilling at -3°C.
