Chitosan nanoparticles were effectively produced via ionotropic
gelation with sodium tripolyphosphate. Glazing containing chitosan
nanoparticles reduced the lipid oxidation in shrimp during
frozen storage at 20 C. Chitosan nanoparticles glazing had not
affected the weight of frozen shrimp compared to the controls. In
addition, chitosan nanoparticles reduced total aerobic counts and yeast and molds without affecting the color and texture properties
of frozen shrimp during 30 days of storage at 20 C. This study
demonstrated the potential of chitosan nanoparticles solutions as
glazings for shrimp.
