“…The coating acts as a physical barrier that helps to reduce moisture loss, solute movement, and gaseous exchange (O 2 and CO 2 ) due to the formation of a film/coating on top of the skin [ 35 ]. Similar results were reported by [ 36 ], where peaches coated with rhubarb-SA were found to have lower levels of weight loss. Correspondingly, another study found that beeswax coatings decreased the respiration rate of the fruits, thus reducing the weight loss and increasing the shelf life of sweet orange [ 37 ].…”

Cherry tomatoes are climacteric fruits that have a limited shelf life. Over the years, many methods have been applied to preserve the fruit quality and safety of these fruits. In this study, a novel method of combining mucilage from dragon fruits and UV-C irradiation was carried out. Cherry tomatoes were subjected to UV-C irradiation and edible coating, both as a stand-alone and hurdle treatment. The edible coating was prepared from the mucilage of white dragon fruits. Quality parameters including color, weight loss, total soluble solids, titratable acidity, ascorbic acid, antioxidant analysis (total phenolic content and flavonoid content), and microbial analysis were measured throughout 21 days of storage at 4 °C. Results showed that the hurdle treatment extended shelf life by 21 days, reduced weight loss (0.87 ± 0.05%) and color changes (11.61 ± 0.95 ΔE), and inhibited microbes better than stand-alone treatments. Furthermore, fruits treated with the combination of UV-C and edible coating also contained higher total polyphenol content (0.132 ± 0.003 mg GAE/100 mL), total flavonoid content (13.179 ± 0.002 mg CE/100 mL), and ascorbic acid (1.07 ± 0.06 mg/100 mL). These results show that the combination of UV-C and edible coating as a hurdle treatment could be an innovative method to preserve shelf life and quality of fruits.

“…Recently, researchers have shown an interest in the application of nontoxic alternatives or supplements to synthetic fungicides. Plant extracts, including essential oils, have been investigated as alternative measures against pathological breakdown (Klieber et al, 2002;Ahmed et al, 2007;Badawy-Ibtesam et al, 2011;Zaghloul et al, 2011 andBarakat et al, 2015 Coating fruit has been associated with protect perishables from deterioration by reducing transpiration and respiration, improving textural quality, retaing colour and volatile flavour compounds and reducing microbial growth (Mahmoud-Thanaa et al2017, Bakhtiarizade and souril, 2019, Taslima et al 2020and Ennab et al 2020 Thus, the main goal of this study was to investigate the effect of -dipping balady mandarin fruits with camphor oil, linen oil either as single treatment or combined with Imazalil as a chemical fungicide on postharvest fruits quality attributes during cold storage for 4 monthes.…”

This study was conducted during two successive seasons 2017 and 2018 to study the effect of some oils immersing on the storability and quality of Balady mandarin (Citrus reticulate L.) fruits during the storage period. The post-harvest treatments were immersed with camphor oil, linen oil and imazalil either singly or in combination. The fruits were stored at cold condition 8±1°C with 85-90% RH. Samples of each treatment were randomly withdrawn monthly for 4 months. The results showed that fruit weight loss %, fruit decay %, total soluble solids %, sugar contents and TSS/acid ratio were significantly increased with prolonging the storage period. On other hand, the advanced storage period induced a gradual decrease of fruit juice percentage, fruits firmness, acidity % and vitamin C. All treatments caused a decrease in fruit weight and fruit decay percentage, fruits firmness, acidity % and vitamin C. Using oils resulted in the least fruit weight loss, whereas, imazalil treatment had the least fruit decay percentage. Also, all treatments improved the fruit quality during the storage period compared control. It could be concluded that oils plus imazalil coating maintained fruit freshness without negative effects of fruit quality parameters and seems to be the proper and ideal treatment to prolong cold storage of Balady mandarin fruits without great reduction in fruit quality.

“…In pharmaceutical industry, it is used as a coating for tablets, and component of ointments and plasters (Lucente et al, 1996;Al Waili, 2003;Al Waili et al, 2006;Moustafa & Atiba, 2015). It is also present in the electronic (Lima, 1977;Feeburg, 1986;Bradbear, 2009) and agrifood industries (Nasrin et al, 2020). In addition, it is also used by the beekeeping industry itself, in the manufacture of honeycomb blades.…”

The bee wax has great historical importance and has been present since the evolution of civilizations. Currently, besides several uses of the wax, its recovery is indispensable for the rational management of swarms by beekeepers. The wax can be recovered from the combs using different techniques, however the conditions of the pre-extraction combs, such as their size, can influence the wax yield. Thus, studies must still be carried out to standardize the techniques and processes for extracting the wax from the combs, in order to improve the wax yield. This study aimed to evaluate the recovery of Apis mellifera wax according to the size of the comb using an alternative extraction technique. First, the influence of the comb size on wax recovery was evaluated. We used brown color combs, which were broken down into four sizes, each size representing a treatment, namely: Treatment I - 25 cm2; Treatment II - 16 cm2; Treatment III - 9 cm2 and Treatment IV - 4 cm2. Combs were submitted to the "internal strain" technique for 30 minutes of extraction, after boiling the water. The wax recovery was superior in treatment III (P <0.05). Wax recovery from treatment IV was similar to treatment II, which, in turn, showed similar recovery to treatment I (P <0.05). Besides, the wax recovery using 9 cm2 combs was evaluated by the commercial technique of "steam extraction" and the alternative technique of "internal strain", for a period of 30 minutes. The “internal strain” technique showed greater wax recovery than the “steam extraction” technique (P <0.01). The use of alternative wax recovery together with 9 cm2 combs size may optimize the wax extraction process, in terms that it decreases the time of exposure of the wax to heat, and thus positively affect the quality of the final product.
