“…Green chilies are one of the highly perishable vegetable crops which exhibit substantial moisture loss resulting in lower consumer acceptance. ALV coating has been proved as a substantial barrier against water loss with extension in shelf life by delaying senescence of fresh produce as earlier reported for different fruits including apricot (Nourozi & Sayyari, 2020), mango (Ebrahimi & Rastegar, 2020), litchi , apple (Khan et al, 2019), Sapodilla (Khaliq et al, 2019a), table grapes (Peyro et al, 2017), bananas (Ratra et al, 2016), and cherries (Ozturk et al, 2019), and some vegetables such as lotus roots , tomatoes (Khatri et al, 2020), and eggplants (Amanullah et al, 2016) during storage, respectively. Thus, the application of ALV coating before storage can extend the marketable window of green chilies.…”
