Malva neglecta seed polysaccharide mucilage coating enriched by the Lactobacillus brevis TD4 postbiotics: A promising strategy to promote the shelf life of fresh beef

The need for bioactive-incorporated biodegradable packaging products is growing due to the desire to achieve food goods that have a longer shelf life and enhanced safety. The current study set out to create an edible coating using Malva neglecta seed polysaccharide mucilage (MNSM) containing Lactobacillus brevis TD4-derived postbiotics (PLB), and assess how well the PLB-MNSM edible coating preserved beef slices over a 12-day period of refrigeration. PLB was rich in fatty acids, organic heteropolycyclic compounds, monoterpene and cyclohexanol derivative, prenol lipids, ester compounds, and alpha-CH
