“…The paraffin wax serves as a physical barrier around the fruit which partially closes the stomatal openings and lenticels thereby reducing the rates of transpiration and respiration" [6]. "The highest rate of PLW in control might be due to higher moisture loss humidity as compared to coated fruits" [7]. Similar findings have also been reported by Hazarik et al [8].…”

An experiment was conducted on the effect of edible coating on shelf-life enhancement of papaya (Carica papaya L.) at ambient conditions. The main aim of this study was to increase the shelf life of papaya by using edible coating. Postharvest losses in fruits is a serious problem due to rapid deterioration during storage. Use of edible coatings over fruits is used to improve their quality and enhance the shelf life. The main purpose of this study was to assess the effect of aloe vera gel, beeswax, paraffin wax and gelatine coating in extending the shelf-life of papaya including physico-chemical changes under ambient storage conditions. The experiment was laid out in completely randomized design (CRD) with 7 treatments and 3 replications. The treatment consisted of coating material with Aloe vera gel 0.5% (T1), Aloe vera gel 1%(T2), Aloe vera gel 1.5%(T3), Beeswax 6% (T4), Paraffin wax 100% (T5), Gelatin10%(T6), Control(T7) and freshly harvested papaya fruits. Statistical analysis revealed that among all the treatments, the maximum effect on extending the shelf-life and delaying the ripening was recorded in paraffin wax coated papaya fruits. Therefore, coating of papaya fruits with paraffin wax can be suggested as a post-harvest treatment to enhance the shelf-life.

“…As reported by several authors, MAP acts by replacing the surrounding air atmosphere concentration around the fruit inside a sealed package with the O 2 and CO 2 levels required to mitigate pathological decay and physiological disorders [103][104][105][106][107]. Creating low O 2 and medium-low CO 2 partial pressures, which can reduce respiration rate and fungal growth, and maintaining a high RH, which reduces water loss and therefore weight loss, MAP may also be used as a commercially practical means to extend the shelf life of citrus fruits, retaining freshness and preserving initial fruit quality during storage [108][109][110]. However, supposing that the permeability of the films used is not appropriate, MAP can promote anaerobic respiration and the accumulation of excessive moisture inside the package, particularly at non-chilling temperatures, with detrimental effects, such as the development of off-flavours or increase in the incidence of decay [111,112].…”

Citrus spp. are spread mainly in the Mediterranean basin and represent the largest fruit source for human consumption. Postharvest losses, mainly due to diseases and metabolic disorders of fruits, can cause severe wastage, reaching 30 to 50% of the total production. Preserving quality and extending shelf life are essential objectives for postharvest technological innovation, determined by the proper handling, treatment, storage and transport of harvested produce. Moreover, the application of novel sustainable strategies is critical for the reduction of synthetic fungicide residues on fruit surfaces and the impact on the environment caused by waste disposal of fungicides. In this article, the current knowledge about the safest and more sustainable strategies, as well as advanced postharvest handling and storage technologies, will be critically reviewed.

“…The decrease in ascorbic acid during storage may be due to the oxidation of L-ascorbic acid into dehydroascorbic acid (Lin et al 1988). The influence of heat shrinkable films on maintaining higher ascorbic acid content in citrus fruits has also been reported (Dhillon et al 2016).…”

Postharvest quality maintenance of W. Murcott mandarin using packaging films

The fruits of W. Murcott mandarin were evaluated for shelf life and quality attributes for two weeks under passive MAP conditions. The fruits were harvested during second week of January at optimum maturity when they attained orange colour and packed in paper molded trays followed by wrapping with different packaging films, viz. heat shrinkable film (15 Î¼), cling (15 Î¼) and LDPE (25 Î¼) film. After packaging, the fruits were stored under ambient conditions (18-20Â°C; 90-95% RH). The fruits were evaluated for various quality attributes periodically. The in-package gaseous composition (O2 and CO2) in shrink film packed fruits was found to be at desired level which resulted in maintenance of pleasant flavour of the fruits. On the other hand, LDPE film accumulated very high level of CO2, resulting in off flavour and decay of fruits in the package. The shrink film reduced the loss in weight, firmness, decay incidence and maintained various qualities attributes like total soluble solids, sugars, acidity and ascorbic acid content of the fruits during shelf-life better than unwrapped control fruits. The data revealed that packing of W. Murcott fruit in shrink film can prolong the shelf-life and maintain the quality for 10 days compared to only 5 days in case of unpacked control fruits.
