Putrescine and carnauba wax pretreatments alleviate chilling injury, enhance shelf life and preserve pomegranate fruit quality during cold storage

Impact of Edible Coatings on the Postharvest Behaviour of Bitter Gourd (Momordica charantia L.) Fruits

“…It plugs the openings of the fruit skin surface thereby reduce their metabolic activities by lowering the rates of respiration and transpiration,this successfully prolonging their shelf life (Amarante and Banks, 2001). Similar results were observed by Barman et al, (2011).…”

Control of gray mold of pomegranate fruits caused by Botrytis cinerea

“…Artes and Tomés-Barberén (2000) considered relative humidity the second most important factor (after storage temperature) affecting pomegranate quality, while exceeding a 5% weight loss was indicated as the threshold for visible shriveling symptoms . Loss of weight in stored pomegranate fruits is mainly due to evaporation of water from the fruit and becomes apparent as shriveling (Barman et al, 2011). Pomegranate is highly susceptible to weight loss due to the high porosity of the fruit peel, which permits free water vapor movement (Kader et al, 1984).…”

Carnauba Wax and Chitosan Coating To Maintain Quality of Peeled Carrot

“…Hasil yang sama dilaporkan oleh Barman et al (2011) pada buah delima yang diberi pelapisan lilin karnauba dapat mengurangi pertukaran gas dan pemanfaatan oksigen sehingga menyebabkan rendahnya kemampuan respirasi dalam jaringan produk selama penyimpanan.…”

“…Lilin karnauba dapat menghambat kehilangan kelembaban, memberikan kilau, meningkatkan umur simpan dan memelihara kualitas pascapanen beberapa buahbuahan seperti mangga dan alpukat. Selain itu lilin karnauba juga dapat mengurangi perkembangan gejala CI (Chiling Injury) (Barman et al 2011).…”
