Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect No coating reduced blueberry weight loss in either year.
- Intervention effect Some coatings enhanced weight loss.
- Intervention effect Chitosan coating removed all or part of the waxy bloom.
- Intervention effect Chitosan plus oleic acid removed all or part of the waxy bloom.
- Intervention effect Carnauba wax removed all or part of the waxy bloom.
- Intervention effect Semperfresh removed all or part of the waxy bloom.
- Intervention effect Sodium caseinate partly removed bloom but generally maintained natural appearance better.
- Intervention effect Coatings did not effectively limit weight loss through the blueberry cuticle.
- Intervention effect Coatings did not effectively limit weight loss through the blueberry stem end.
- Observation Bloom loss occurred during coating application.
- Intervention effect More handling during CH + OA drying significantly increased later weight loss relative to minimal handling.
- Recommendation The authors recommend careful handling during coating.
