Abstract Shrimp is enjoyed for the uniqueness of its flavor and texture. However, shrimp has limited shelf-life due to biochemical, microbiological or physical changes during postmortem storage. In this study, edible coatings from sweet potato starch (SPS) and variable levels of thyme essential oil (TEO) (0, 2, 4 and 6 g/100 g) were developed to maintain the quality of shrimp during refrigerated storage. Application of SPS-based coating resulted in lower pH (p
