Improving Shelf-life of Cavendish Banana Using Chitosan Edible Coating
Procedia Chemistry, 2014 AbstractChitosan has been widely used as an edible coating for extending the shelf life of fruit. In this research, chitosan was applied to Cavendish banana. The effect of different degree of deacetylation (DD) of chitosan (70%, 80%) in various chitosan concentration (1, 1.5, 2% w/w) in solution on weight loss and vitamin C loss were investigated.
