Abstract
The present study was measured the effects of chitosan and CaCl2 treatments on shelf-life of strawberry fruits under ambient condition for 3 days. The coated treatments had significantly reduced the loss of weight and firmness of fruits. The coated strawberries had retained higher TSS, ascorbic acid and anthocyanin. Among the coating treatments, 1.5% chitosan was most effective (P < 0.01) in maintaining higher ascorbic acid, TSS and titratable acidity. Chitosan coating also reduced the microbial load compared to other treatments. These results indicate that edible coatings have potential as a means to reduce postharvest spoilage in strawberry fruit.
