Abstract:Edible coating are commonly used as they minimize post-harvest losses and extend the shelf life of fruits. Therefore, in this study, analyzed the effect of edible coatings containing gibberellic acid (GA3) on the shelf life of tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum L.). Tomatoes were divided into six groups: Uncoated (CT); coating with 75 and 100 mg L-1 of GA3 solubilized in water without adding pectin (A75 and A100, respectively); coating with 75 and 100 mg L-1 of GA3 with added pectin (P75 and P100, respectively); c… Show more
