Peach gum polysaccharides-based edible coatings extend shelf life of cherry tomatoes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cherry tomato is a nutritious, but highly perishable fruit. Peach gum polysaccharides (PGPs) can form edible films with antioxidant and antibacterial activities. The effects of PGP-based edible coatings on cherry tomatoes during hypothermic storage (4 °C) were investigated. PGP-based edible coatings effectively maintained firmness, decreased weight loss, inhibited respiration rate and delayed the changes in total acidity, ascorbic acid and sugar content of cherry tomatoes during hypothermic storage (4 °C) compared with those of the control (p < 0.05). The results indicate that using PGP-based edible coating is a promising method to extend the shelf life of cherry tomatoes.

Shelf-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 ...

Background and Objectives: Greenhouse cucumber is one of the most important summer crops of Iran. Quality of the product is immediately lost after harvest due to physicochemical changes. Thus, use of special pre-processes (especially use of edible coating) to delay their maturity and increase the shelf-life of the product is important. Materials and Methods: To decrease weight loss, preserve nu...
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...
