Abstract

Effects of chitosan combined with nisin on quality enhancement in jumbo squid (Dosidicus gigas) were investigated during cold storage (4 ± 1 °C). 1% chitosan combined with different concentrations of nisin (0, 2 and 6 g/L) were utilized as preservatives. Changes in human sensory evaluation, GC–MS, total variable counts, and physiochemical indexes, including weight loss, colour, total volatile basic nitrogen and K value, were synchronously measured. Results demonstrated that 1% chitosan combined with 6 g/L nisin maintained high sensory scores, low moisture loss and volatile spoilage products. The optimized method also inhibited microbial propagation, nutrient (protein, nucleotides, etc) degradation, etc. This method is promising in aquatic products quality preservation.
