- Intervention effect Guava fruit coated with beeswax plus AgNPs (T2) had the highest titratable acidity, 0.38 %, on day 12 after treatment.
- Intervention effect Guava fruit coated with beeswax plus AgNPs (T2) had the lowest decay rate, 60 %, on day 12 after treatment.
- Intervention effect Guava fruit coated with beeswax plus AgNPs (T2) had the lowest reducing sugars, 3.02 %, on day 12 after treatment.
- Intervention effect Guava fruit coated with beeswax plus AgNPs (T2) had the lowest non-reducing sugars, 2.65 %, on day 12 after treatment.
- Intervention effect Biopolymer coatings (beeswax, xanthan gum, gelatin, guar gum) improved peel coloration of guava.
- Intervention effect Biopolymer coatings (beeswax, xanthan gum, gelatin, guar gum) maintained firmness and texture of guava.
- Mechanism The authors attribute the better acid-sugar balance of coated guava to coatings acting as a barrier against water loss, reducing respiration, slowing metabolic rate and preventing microbial decay.
