Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Chitosan-carvacrol emulsions had nanoscale particle size.
- Observation Zeta potential and polydispersity index indicated high emulsion stability.
- Intervention effect The 0.2% carvacrol coating increased soluble solids, total acid and total phenols relative to chitosan alone.
- Intervention effect The 0.2% carvacrol coating lowered guava weight loss and pericarp browning relative to chitosan alone.
- Method / resource Principal component analysis corroborated the postharvest quality findings.
- Recommendation The authors recommend chitosan coating with carvacrol to improve postharvest guava quality.
