Abstract

This study investigated the applicability of biodegradable film prepared from gelatine extracted from
jellyfish Stomolophus sp. 2 for preserving sierra fish (Scomberomorus sierra) mince at three storage temperatures (0°C, 10°C, and 20°C). Gelatine was obtained from jellyfish collagen extracted under alkaline conditions through conventional hot water extraction. Microbiological quality, pH, and lipid oxidation were evaluated and compared with samples packed with commercial gelatine film (T2), packed with cellophane (C2), and unpackaged controls (C1). Storage temperature and time significantly affected all parameters (p < 0.05). Jellyfish gelatine–chitosan film (T1) reduced microbial growth by 2.03–3.38 log colony-forming units (CFU)/g in aerobic mesophiles and >2.31 log CFU/g in Enterobacteriaceae at 20°C after 96 h; at 10°C, T1 maintained lower counts, with differences of 0.46–1.48 log CFU/g and >0.68 log CFU/g, respectively, after 288 h. T1 also stabilized pH (<7.0 at 96 h, 20°C) and inhibited lipid oxidation (peroxide values <5 meq O₂/kg at 0°C; and delaying oxidation onset at 10°C). These findings demonstrate that jellyfish gelatine-based film represent a promising biodegradable packaging strategy to enhance shelf life and qualitypreservation of fish mince.
