Abstract: Orthogonal array design method was used to optimize the formulation of sodium alginate and calcium chloride based coatings for chicken breast based on water loss rate and MDA content. The results showed that soaking in 2 g/100 mL alginate and then calcification with 2 g/100 mL calcium chloride for 2 min exhibited the best fresh-keeping effect on chicken breast.

Key words: chicken breast, coating, sodium alginate, preservation
