Effect of coating with combined chitosan and gallic acid on shelf-life stability of Jeju black cattle beef
Summary
This paper is not relevant to microplastics research — it examines chitosan and gallic acid coatings as meat preservation techniques with no connection to plastic pollution or environmental contamination.
Taken together, the combined chitosan and gallic acid coating could be used as a bio-preservative technique in the meat industry.
