This study investigated effects of the high molecular-weight (800 kDa) chitosan coating on quality and shelf life channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) fillets stored at 4 °C. Distilled water (control), CHAC1% (1% w/v in 1% v/v acetic acid), AS3% (3% aspartic CHAS3% 3% acid) were used as solutions. Microbial (total aerobic mesophilic bacteria-TAMB; total psychrophilic bacteria-TAPB), physicoche...
