“…Paul and Shaha [22] obtained 27.0±1.2 mg% Ca in tomato fruits collected from the northern region of Bangladesh. According to Parvin et al [23], the tomato variety Roma VF contained 0.32 to 0.69% Ca, which is almost at par with the present study.…”

This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of chitosan coating on physiological responses and nutritional qualities of tomato fruits at postharvest storage. There were four treatments of chitosan viz. T0 (control), T1 (0.10%), T2 (0.20%) and T3 (0.30%), and two storage conditions viz. in refrigerator (4°C) and room temperature (≈23-25°C). The matured light yellow tomato fruit samples were collected at 10, 20, 30 and 50 days after postharvest storage to assess physiological parameters viz. shelf life and weight loss as well as to determine lycopene and mineral constituents viz. Ca, Mg, P, S, Na and K. The mean weight loss of tomato fruits were 0.64, 1.28, 1.59 and 2.28% at 4°C, while it was 0.88, 1.84, 2.60 and 4.80% at room temperature at 10, 20, 30 and 50 days after postharvest storage, respectively. The shelf life of tomato fruits ranged between 58.3-100.0, 50.0-100.0, 33.3-75.0 and 16.7-66.8% at 4°C, while the ranges were 66.8-100.0, 50.0-100.0, 33.3-75.0 and 0.0-41.8% at room temperature at 10, 20, 30 and 50 days after postharvest storage, respectively. As regards to weight loss and shelf life, the study results inferred that chitosan coating with 0.2% solution is useful at postharvest storage of fruits. The study results revealed that storage temperatures (4°C and ≈23-25°C) had no effect on the total contents of different mineral element of tomato fruits but lycopene content reduced almost twice at refrigerated condition. On the other hand, the effect of chitosan coating on Ca, Mg, P, S, Na and K contents of tomato fruits at different days after postharvest storage were highly significant at both conditions. Finally, the study results concluded that 0.2% chitosan based coatings in tomato fruits proved to extend the shelf life by decreasing the decay incidence and weight loss, and refrigerated condition is better than that of room temperature.

“…Regarding chitosan, Basit et al., 2020a , Basit et al., 2020b ) observed higher TA in tomatoes treated with 100 mgl − 1 compared to the control. Similar to this, Parvin et al. (2019) also reported better retention of TA in tomatoes with preharvest foliar and soil application of chitosan.…”

“…Among all tested treatments, only 500ppm CS gave high values of percentages of moisture in cloves during both seasons (59.16 and 60.06%, respectively) as compared with control and all other spraying treatments. Chitosan is widely used for increasing vegetative growth, yield and quality of vegetable crops (Sheikha and Al-Malki, 2011;Farouk et al, 2011;Mona, 2015;Zayed et al, 2017;Abeer et al, 2018;Parvin et al, 2019), and to improve storability of fruits and vegetables (El Ghaouth et al, 1991). Chitosan enhances both qualitative and quantitative characteristics of crops because it promotes nutrient uptake of the plant (Malerba and Cerana, 2016).…”

This study was conducted to evaluate the potential effect of foliar spray with different doses of two bio-stimulants Chitosan (CS) and Royal Jelly (RJ) on growth and yield and quality of two garlic cultivars (Egaseed1 and Balady i.e(Egyptian) at two winter seasons of 2017/2018 and 2018/2019.Generally, the foliar spray of all tested biostimulates treatments considerably improves almost all plant growth traits of garlic cultivars which reflected on plants yield and quality. Data showed that spraying Ega1 plants with different doses of CS and RJ considerably increased total yield (TY) in both seasons as compared with control (13.39 and 14.64 tons). The highest values of TY were found in Ega1 plants treated with 0.1g/l RJ (15.29 and 15.80 tons) and 0.3g/l RJ (15.08 and 16.61 tons) at both seasons respectively. On the other side, there was clear increase in TY of Egy plants treated with different CS and RJ doses at both seasons as compared with control (7.57 and 8.69 tons, respectively). The highest values of TY were found in Egy. plants treated with 0.2g/L RJ (9.23 and 8.53 tons) at both seasons respectively as compared with all other treatments. As compared to control, foliar spray with CS and RJ reduced weight loss % and deterioration of bulbs during storage. In general, foliar application of chitosan (1000 and 1500 ppm) and Royal Jelly (0.2 and 0.3 g.L -1 ) could be recommended to improve productivity, quality and storability of the two garlic cultivars grown under Minia Governorate conditions.
