The increasing amount of gluten in the first coating increased L and whiteness values and decreased a values. Colour, appearance, and a values decreased with increased guar gum in the second coating. Increasing wheat flour in the last coating decreased b, colour and overall acceptability values. The differences in the amount of coating materials were not found to be significant (P>0.05) on odour, flavour and texture values. Keywords : Pearl mullet, fillet, coating, sensory quality
