The chitosan coating materials were prepared with different organic acids (acetic acid, lactic acid, and propionic acid) and phenolic compounds (gallic acid and caffeic acid). Quail and chicken eggs were covered with these combined coating materials. Coated and uncoated samples were contaminated with Escherichia coli and Salmonella enteritidis. The coating process inhibited the microorganisms and provided a safer environment. Chitosan - Lactic acid-Gallic acid and Chitosan-Lactic acid-Caffeic acid coating material was found potentially usable in the preservation of chicken eggs and quail eggs freshness.
