Chitosan Coating: A Postharvest Treatment to Delay Oxidative Stress in Loquat Fruits during Cold Storage

Abstract: Abstract:Loquat is a non-climacteric fruit consumed fresh for its essential nutrients and phytochemical compounds. In this study, the effects of chitosan coating (1% w/v) on changes in the enzymatic antioxidant and membrane damage in three loquat selections (CREAFRC-S18; CREAFRC-S35 and CREAFRC-S36) and three loquat cultivars (Golden Nugget, Algerie and Nespolone rosso di Trabia) stored at 7 • C over 21 days were evaluated. Chitosan treatment enhanced the activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase and ascorb… Show more

“…Current postharvest studies are mainly focusing on the use of biomaterials, including essential oils (EOs), edible coatings, and plant extracts to preserve storage quality in fresh produce (Silvestre et al, 2011). Previous studies have described a number of successful biomaterials in postharvest storage studies, including chitosan (Adiletta et al, 2018;Guti errez-Martínez et al, 2018;Sharif et al, 2015), EOs (Kahramano glu 2019; Pavela and Benelli 2016;Prakash et al, 2015), PEx (Kahramano glu et al, 2018;€ Ozdemir et al, 2010), plant extracts (Gatto et al, 2016;Obagwu and Korsten 2003), edible coatings (Dang et al, 2008;Panahirad et al, 2019;Saucedo-Pompa et al, 2009), and organic salts (Troyo and Acedo, 2019). In addition, MAP is an important nanotechnology for maintaining postharvest quality and upgrade the storage duration of fresh produce (Caleb et al, 2013).…”

“…So far, many storage techniques and natural preservatives have been developed to extend the postharvest life of foods. The currently utilized natural preservatives are chitosan [6,7], essential oils [8,9], propolis extract [10], plant extracts [11,12], edible coatings [13,14], and organic salts [15]. Among these, edible coatings have been receiving more attention in recent years due to their potential for developing edible packaging materials [16].…”
