Why is it important?

This study covers the maintaining the internal and functional quality during shelf life while to expressing the potentials to maintain fresh egg quality during long term storage.

Perspectives

Antimicrobial-enhanced coatings, which are considered active packaging, have been receiving increased interest since they exhibit great potential for ensuring food safety and extend shelf life while maintaining quality. Therefore, authors have been incorporated the lysozyme into chitosan. A few studies have been conducted related to chitosan combined with other active antimicrobial substances with potential in extending shelf life of egg.
