Protective Effect of an Edible Tomato Plant Extract/Chitosan Coating on the Quality and Shelf Life of Sierra Fish Fillets

Figure 1

Concentration of ATP, ADP, AMP, IMP, HxR, and Hx in fillets of sierra (Scomberomorus sierra) with different treatments: (a) control, (b) tomato plan extract, (c) chitosan, and (d) tomato plant extract-chitosan, stored during 15 days in ice. The values are the average of = 4 ± the standard deviation. The concentrations of ATP, ADP, and AMP were not affected by the treatments and the storage time on ice (), while the concentration of IMP, Hx, and HxR was affected by the treatments and storage time ().
