Description

Rahmati and four co-authors test whether a natural coating keeps refrigerated shrimp fresh for longer. The coating blends alginate and gum arabic, and some versions carry pomegranate peel extract, either free or sealed in tiny capsules. Six treatments, including a plain control, were tracked over 15 days.

Shrimp with encapsulated extract at low doses fared best. They showed the slowest fat breakdown, the firmest texture, and the lowest bacterial counts. Tasters also scored them highest early in storage. Free extract and coating alone helped less. The authors conclude that encapsulated pomegranate extract is a workable natural preservative for shrimp and other seafood.
