Abstract In this study, a multi-layered green polymer-based packaging composite assembled by active
flavonoid Kaempferol grafted with starch-chitosan was prepared, and its characteristics and
effect on meat storage, including physicochemical characteristics and antioxidant capacity,
were analysed and evaluated at refrigeration conditions given four treatments: CON (control—
without coating), SEC (with starch+chitin), P01 (with starch+chitin + 1% of Kaempferol) and
P02 (with starch+chitin + 2% of Kaempferol). The addition of Kaempferol increased the antioxidant
activity of meat and inhibited the lipid oxidation until day 24 upon migration effect; also improving
meat acceptability. The Rancimat induction time confirmed More >
