Application of Gelatin Incorporated with Red Pitaya Peel Methanol Extract as Edible Coating for Quality Enhancement of Crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) during Refrigerated Storage by Wenru Liu, Yong Shen, Na Li, Jun Mei, Jing Xie

“…Deshelled crayfish packaged in edible coatings exhibited significantly (p<0.05) lower values for total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N), K value maintenance, and free amino acids (FAAs). This study shows that application of an edible coating incorporated with RPPE and ε-PL is an effective strategy in retarding the quality deterioration in deshelled crayfish during storage.…”
