The effect of chitosan coating on shelf life of ready-to-cook (RTC) meat products under chilled storage(0e3 C) was investigated. The products investigated were chicken balls, chicken seekh kababs andmutton seekh kababs. The samples were coated with 2 g/100 ml chitosan and then stored for 14 days.The control and coated samples were analyzed periodically for microbiological, chemical and sensorycharacteristics. Chitosan coated samples displayed a longer shelf-life compared to the uncoated samples.Chitosan coating eliminated fecal coliforms and lowered counts of Staphylococcus spp. Chitosancoating retarded lipid oxidation in all the meat products during storage. There were no significantorganoleptic changes in the chitosan coated samples. The efficacy of chitosan coating in inhibitingBacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas fluorescens was validated byinoculated pack studies.
