Effects of Natural Mucilage as an Edible Coating on Quality Improvement of Freshly-cut apples
Background and Objectives: Production and consumption of freshly-cut fruits have been increased in recent decades. One of the major problems in storage of freshly-cut fruits, the color change, is a result of the oxidative reactions of phenolic compounds by polyphenol oxidases. Various treatments such as coating and refrigeration are used to improve quality and shelf-life of the fresh-cut fruit...
متن کاملInnovations in the Development and Application of Edible Coatings for Fresh and Minimally Processed Fruits and Vegetables
One of the major growth segments in the food retail industry is fresh and minimally processed fruits and vegetables. This new market trend has thus increased the demands to the food industry for seeking new strategies to increase storability and shelf life and to enhance microbial safety of fresh produce. The technology of edible coatings has been considered as one of the potential approaches f...
متن کاملDevelopment of Edible Coatings for Fresh Fruits and Vegetables: Possibilities and Limitations
The development of edible coatings to extend the shelf-life of fresh fruits and vegetables has been one of the most important goals of the post harvest industry. Thus, in the last decade, research efforts have resulted in edible coatings based on biodegradable biopolymers (proteins and polysaccharides) that at the same time allow the reutilization of some by-products of the food industry. Gener...
متن کاملShelf life extension of ricotta cheese using coatings of galactomannans from nonconventional sources incorporating nisin against Listeria monocytogenes.
Shelf life extension of Ricotta cheese was evaluated at 4 degrees C upon the use of edible coatings made of galactomannans from Gleditsia triacanthos incorporating nisin against Listeria monocytogenes. Three different treatments were tested in cheese: samples without coating; samples with coating without nisin; and samples with coating containing 50 IU x g(-1) of nisin. To test the effectivenes...
متن کاملShelf-Life of Apples Coated with Whey Protein Concentrate- Gellan Gum Edible Coatings
ABSTRACT: Edible coatings made from whey protein concentrate (WPC) and gellan gum (G) were investigated for their capacity to preserve the quality of Malus domestica cv Golab apples. WPC and gellan gum coatings at different concentrations plasticized with glycerol (Gly) were tested. Postharvest storage quality condition testes included weight loss, color and texture changes, titratable acidity ...
