Inhibitory effects of chitosan grafted chlorogenic acid on antioxidase activity, and lipid and protein oxidation of sea bass (Lateolabrax japonicus) fillets stored at 4 °C.

Chitosan-grafted chlorogenic acid could protect the activity of antioxidant enzymes and inhibit lipid oxidation by slowing down the production of lipid oxidation products. It also delayed protein oxidation by inhibiting oxidation product generation and stabilizing protein structure. It could therefore be used as a promising preservative for seafood. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.
