However, in our study, use of
active bags containing chitosan and nisin decreased (P < 0.05) total
coliform count of chicken drumstick when compared with the
control sample. The lowest (P < 0.05) total coliform count was
observed in the chicken drumstick packed with chitosancontaining
film whereas the highest counts (P < 0.05) was
obtained with chicken drumstick packed in control bags.
