Abstract

Functional porperties such as CL, VP and EM did not affected by the addition of chitosans, however, level and MW of chitosans affected textural properties of LFSs, resulting in harder and springer texture of LFSs containing 0.3% MME chitosan as compared to others, Approximately 9 flavor compounds were different between RFC and LFS, and the addition of chitosans did not affected volatile compounds in the LFSs.
