Decelerating weight loss of harvested strawberries by applying edible coatings based on starch-protein hydrolysate of Amaranth flour
نویسندگان
چکیده
The work studied weight losses of harvested strawberries provided with protective edible coating. Coatings were produced by dipping strawberries in 50 % (w/w) starch-protein hydrolysate of Amaranth flour. Tests investigated influence of added glycerol (10 or 30 %) and dialdehyde starch (1 or 4 %) on barrier properties. A protective film was produced on the strawberries after drying 5 min. at 23, 30 or 40 oC. Strawberries were stored at 7±1.5 oC or 23±1.5 oC. The lowest losses in mass caused by humidity evaporating were provided by a protective coating produced with 30 % added glycerol at both storage temperatures.

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 ...

Postharvest life of strawberry fruit is very short due to humidity and high metabolic activity. In order to extend the shelf life and quality of strawberry (cv. parous), effects of pectin coating enriched with different concentrations of lemon and orange peel essential oil were assessed at 20˚C for 6 days or 5˚C to 12 days. The experiment conducted based on a complete randomized design (CDR) in...
