Chitosan-Based Coating Incorporated with Lemon Essential OilRutin Composite Nanoemulsion for Pork Preservation

In this work, a lemon essential oil–rutin composite nanoemulsion was formed and inte- grated into a chitosan (CS) matrix to form a coating for pork preservation. The introduction of rutin decreased the particle size of the nanoemulsion and suppressed the volatilization of the encapsulated essential oil. The rheological properties of the coating showed that it was a pseudoplastic fluid with shear-thinning behavior, and the apparent viscosity of the system was lower than 0.7 Pa·s. The...
