- Effect of chitosan coatings on physico-chemical and enzymatic activities in mango cv Dashehari stored at low temperature A. Mshora P.P.S. Gill S.K. Jawandha A. Sinha M. Singh Agrociencias mango chitosan Cellulase fruit quality polygalactouronase Physico-chemical and enzymatic changes in mango (Mangifera indica) cv. Dashehari in response to postharvest application of chitosan (0, 0.5 and 1.0%) were studied during 4 weeks that were stored between 10±1 °C, 90-95 % RH. Fruits were evaluated for various quality parameters such as firmness, weight loss, pulp colour, .-carotene, soluble solid content (SSC), titratable acidity (TA) and activities of polygalactouronase (PG) and cellulase on 0, 7, 14, 21 and 28 days. Results exhibited that chitosan coatings (1.0 %) effectively reduced the weight loss (5.82 %) and markedly slowed down the ripening changes as evidenced from their retention of fruit firmness (15.50 N), maintenance of SSC (18.85 %) and TA (0.44 %) at 21 days of storage. Chitosan coatings also retarded the pulp colour development and lowered activities of PG and cellulase enzymes as compared to non-coated fruits. Overall, chitosan coating at 1.0% was found to be most effective in enhancing the storability and quality of mango fruits at cool storage temperatures. 2022 artículo científico 0973-354X https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=577073682014 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5770/577073682014/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5770/577073682014/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5770/577073682014/577073682014.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5770/577073682014/movil en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=5770 Journal of Horticultural Sciences application/pdf Society for Promotion of Horticulture Journal of Horticultural Sciences (India) Num.2 Vol.17
