The banana, also known as plantain in some places, is a tropical fruit widely consumed and appreciated around the world. Its scientific name is Musa paradisiaca and it belongs to the Musaceae family. This fruit is native to Southeast Asia but is currently cultivated in various tropical and subtropical regions, is harvested throughout all the year and planted in 130 countries, 75% of which is produced mainly in India, Ecuador, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica and China. The use of some post-harvest treatments (gradening, modification of the atmosphere, coatings and refrigeration, among others) are important for guarantee of safe, healthy and high-quality foods in the century XXI. This review details mechanical damage after harvest, management of environmental parameters (temperature and relative humidity), control of gases involved in storage and transportation, treatment with wax, coatings, the use of antifungal compounds and packaging necessary for the export of the fruit.

Due to postharvest losses, research to preserve fruits and vegetables' physicochemical and sensory quality has gained significant interest in recent years. Therefore, applying edible coatings is used to maintain quality when delaying the transport of gases (O2 and CO2) and water by retaining volatile aroma compounds, thus delaying the maturation process. The present research evaluated the effect of an edible coating obtained from milk protein and Nisin on the postharvest quality of Strawberries. The study was carried out in the Laboratories of Bromatology and Chemistry of the Universidad Técnica Estatal de Quevedo, located in the canton of Quevedo, province of Los Ríos, Ecuador, in the year 2022, where a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 5 treatments and 3 replicates was used to determine the behavior of the characteristics during the days of conservation of the treatments. It was shown that the treatments with edible coating and 2% and 6% nisin had a longer shelf life than the uncoated strawberries, which only had a shelf life of 2 days. It was also observed that by T3, better ratings in the sensory categories evaluated (color, aroma, flavor, and acceptability) were obtained, conserving similar characteristics to the uncoated strawberries. The application of edible coating based on milk protein and 2% nisin can be used as an effective alternative during postharvest handling of strawberries, providing beneficial effects such as prolonging shelf life for 5 days. Keywords: coating, preservation, maturation, degradation.
