To enhance the stability and sterilizability of chitosan-based coatings and expand the application of specific nanoparticles into food preservation, Ag/TiO2 composites are synthesized to functionalize chitosan coatings for egg preservation. The eggshell morphology, weight loss, Haugh unit and albumen pH are used to characterize the preservation performance of the coatings.
