Figure 7.
Variations of total aerobic psycrotrophic bacteria (APB) count (A), chroma index (C*) (B) and whiteness index (WI) (C) in relation to dual-sensors color responses (measured as mean RGB) in chicken meat samples without coating (control, (A1–C1)) and coated with chitosan containing YEO (Ch_2%—YEO_0.3%, (A2–C2)) during chilled storage days. Data are mean of at least triplicate measurements and error bars indicate SDs. MR: methyl red, BCP: Bromocresol purple. Onset of detection and threshold of spoilage in relation to APB, C*, and WI values has been shown by arrows.
