Performance characteristics of chitosan ε-polylysine composite films and their application in tuna shelf-life extension
The enhanced preservation performance of CS-ε-PL films is attributed to the synergistic effects between the physical barrier properties of chitosan and the broad-spectrum antibacterial and antioxidant activities of ε-polylysine. This multifunctional composite system effectively retards oxidative reactions and microbial proliferation, thereby significantly extending the refrigerated shelf life of yellowfin tuna.
