کاربرد پوشش خوراکی کیتوزان حاوی عصاره بره موم و اسانس آویشن برروی کیفیت و ماندگاری گوشت مرغ در دمای یخچال

Abstract

Aim. An antimicrobial and antioxidant propolis and thyme (Thymus vulgaris L.) oil was added to chitosan (chitosan), an edible coating agent. The effects of this coating material on the shelf life and quality of the coated chicken breast samples were evaluated. Material and Method. In this study, chicken breast meat samples were examined in six groups including: control, chitosan, chitosan-alcohol, chitosan - 1% thyme oil, chitosan - 1% propolisexract and chitosan - 1% thyme oil - 1% propolis extract. These samples were stored at 4 ° C for 16 days. Total mesophilic aerobic bacteria (TMAB), total psychophilic aerobic bacteria (TPAB), Lactobacillus spp. and Pseudomonas spp. counts and chemically; pH, aw, Thiobarbutyric acid Reactive Substans (TBARS) and color (L *, a * and b *) values were analyzed on 1st, 4th, 8th, 12th and 16th days of storage. Result. In reviewing the microbiological results; TMAB, TPAB, Lactobacillus spp. and Pseudomonas spp. counts were observed to increase more slowly in the coated groups (P 0.05). Conclusion. In this study, the addition of thyme essential oil and propolis extract to the chitosan coating material has been shown to reduce bacterial growth, lipid oxidation and pH change in chicken breast meat samples and to have a positive effect on shelf life. The most effective application on product quality was the treatment gruop of the combination of thyme essential oil, propolis extract and chitosan. As a result, the addition of thyme oil and propolis extract to chitosan coating material could be used for preserving foods. However, more scientific studies are needed on the use of such applications in food preservation.
