“…TSS ( • Brix) was measured with a digital refractometer (ATAGO Co., Ltd., Tokyo Japan). TA was determined by titrating 0.1 NaOH to a pH 8.1 with an automatic titrator (Compact 44-00; Crison Instruments, Barcelona, Spain); the results were expressed as milliequivalents of 0.1 mol NaOH per liter [23][24][25]. Finally, the total concentration of phenols was estimated by a slighty modified Folin-Ciocalteu method [26,27].…”

Anaerobic digestion is one of the most important and advantageous processes in livestock manure treatment. Digestate, one of its byproducts, contains particularly high nitrogen levels that determine storage and disposal costs. Excess nitrogen can be managed through sequestration processes. This study assesses the potential of natural zeolite to adsorb ammonium ions from a simulated ammonium-rich digestate, and to verify its absorbency and efficiency to release fertilizer slowly to strawberry plants. The assessment considered the effects on the plant, fruit quality, prokaryotic abundances and relative abundance of bacterial and archaeal functional genes related to nitrification. Our results confirm that ammonium-enriched zeolites possess positive implications for strawberry plants and favorably influence bacterial nitrification. Natural zeolites demonstrated high sorption properties and were shown to be an efficient carrier of N to plants.

“…PPO and peroxidase activity are also reduced by EO, particularly in the first several days after processing. For fresh-cut fruit applications, EOs can be employed to make edible films (Chiabrando et al, 2015) [20] . Coated apple slices with whey protein concentrate (WPC) and apple pomance extract (APE) reduced weight loss.…”

Fresh-cut fruits have a shorter shelf life due to its perishable nature. Edible coating being biodegradable and environmental friendly, provides protective covering to fresh-cut fruits. This review covered the effects of edible coating on fresh cut fruits, i.e., apple, apricot, banana, kiwi, mango, papaya, pineapple, strawberries, watermelon and melon. It was observed that edible coating positively affected weight loss, titratable acidity, ph, firmness, shelf life, color, respiration rate and microbial load in fresh cut fruits. Shelf life of all fresh-cut fruits was significantly enhanced by edible coating. Being pre-processed products, it also reduced the time required for cutting fruits. Sensory scores were also acceptable for edible-coated fruits. Literature available on the extension of shelf life of fresh-cut fruits are not sufficient especially of kiwi, strawberry, banana and mango.

“…Ficus hirta fruit extract with alginate coating retarded the growth of blue mold increased antioxidant content, and activity of defense enzymes in Nanfeng mandarin [147]. Alginate coating incorporated with cinnamon EO effectively reduced the rate of respiration and weight loss, retained original color, increased lightness, and inhibited polyphenoloxidase and peroxidase activity in fresh-cut apple cv Golden Delicious [148]. Rhubarb extract with alginate inhibited Penicillium expansum and preserved the physiological and sensory attributes in coated peaches (Prunus persica) [149].…”

Polysaccharide-Based Active Coatings Incorporated with Bioactive Compounds for Reducing Postharvest Losses of Fresh Fruits

This review reports recently published research related to the application of polysaccharide-based biodegradable and edible coatings (BECs) fortified with bioactive compounds obtained from plant essential oils (EOs) and phenolic compounds of plant extracts. Combinations of polysaccharides such as starches, pectin, alginate, cellulose derivatives, and chitosan with active compounds obtained from clove, lemon, cinnamon, lavender, oregano, and peppermint have been documented as potential candidates for biologically active coating materials for retardation of quality changes in fresh fruits. Additionally, polysaccharide-based active coatings supplemented with plant extracts such as cashew leaves, pomegranate peel, red roselle, apple fiber, and green tea extracts rich in phenolic compounds and their derivatives have been reported to be excellent substituents to replace chemically formulated wax coatings. Moreover, EOs and plant polyphenolics including alcohols, aldehydes, ketones phenols, organic acids, terpenes, and esters contain hydroxyl functional groups that contribute bioactivity to BECs against oxidation and reduction of microbial load in fresh fruits. Therefore, BECs enriched with active compounds from EOs and plant extracts minimize physiological and microbial deterioration by reducing moisture loss, softening of flesh, ripening, and decay caused by pathogenic bacterial strains, mold, or yeast rots, respectively. As a result, shelf life of fresh fruits can be extended by employing active polysaccharide coatings supplemented with EOs and plant extracts prior to postharvest storage.
