Abstract

ABSTRACTComparison of a chitosan-coated food contact material (active packaging) against the standard is carried out in this study. The shelf life of bilberries and redcurrants has been assessed, using visual inspection. Berries passed a professional sensory assessment on organoleptic deterioration. The berries were stored on consumer/retail-orientated standards to achieve a valid assessment on shelf-life impact. An increased shelf life can be achieved between 2 and 4 days, using 2% chitosan-coated food contact material.
