Red grape (Vitis vinifera L.) is easy to get perishable and wrinkles/wilt, brown in color, and soft fruit flesh. one of the benefits of edible coating is that it can protect products from microbiological damage. The ability of aloe vera as an antimicrobial can be a potential ingredient for making edible coatings,. Besides, the use of aloe vera as an edible coating is also very easy and affordable (cheap). The purposes of this study are to determine the effect of glycerol addition and the best treatment of aloe vera edible coating on the quality of the red grape. The experiment used a completely randomized design (CRD) as an experimental design with 4 treatment factors, namely the concentration of glycerol (P1=0%, P2=3%, P3=5%, P4=7%). Each concentration was repeated three times. The parameters observed were physicochemical characteristics (weight reduction, pH, total titrated acid), hedonic quality test (color, aroma, texture). The results showed that the treatment of 3% glycerol was the best treatment since it could maintain the condition of the fruit well during storage, especially weight reduction, aromas, and textures. Parameters that highly affect the quality of red grapes are texture and weight loss.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
