Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Chitosan delayed decay and extended shelf life of the tested fruits.
- Intervention effect Tomato decay was most delayed by chitosan among tested fruits.
- Intervention effect Both 500 and 1000 ppm chitosan prevented tomato decay through day 8 at room temperature.
- Intervention effect Chitosan protected over 80% of oranges at day 8 versus untreated controls.
- Intervention effect Chitosan protected over 80% of strawberries at day 4 versus untreated controls.
- Intervention effect The 500 ppm chitosan dose gave better protection than 1000 ppm in all tested fruits.
- Recommendation Authors suggest lower chitosan doses as a fruit preservative alternative to formalin.
