The control and coated fillets were analyzed periodically for physicochemical (pH, thiobarbituric acid (TBA) value, total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) value, K value, and shear force), microbiological (total viable counts (TVC), psychrophilic bacteria counts (PTC), Pseudomonads and H2S-producing bacteria) and sensorial characteristics. The results showed that chitosan-GML coated samples presented better quality preservation effects than chitosan coating alone. In addition, 2% chitosan enriched with 0.3% GML showed the significant (P<0.05) effectiveness in inhibiting microbial growth, nucleotide breakdown, the formation of alkaline components and texture deterioration, and maintaining sensory acceptability among the groups. These findings confirmed that chitosan coating enriched with GML was a promising method to extend the shelf life of refrigerated fillets.
