Sažetak
Mandarin fruits are non-climacteric, perishable fruit, and cannot be kept for a long time during transportation and storage. Appropriate postharvest treatment can minimize fruit loss dramatically, increase fruit quality, and result in higher profitability. Edible coatings may help to increase the shelf life of fruits by decreasing moisture and solute migration, gas exchange, respiration, and reaction rates, as well as minimizing or suppressing physiological diseases. Chitosan is one of the most popular polysaccharide coating for various fruits due to its capability to delay water loss. Mandarin fruits were treated with chitosan, and fruit quality parameters were determined. Weight loss, total soluble solids, and total phenolics were evaluated in control and chitosan-coated fruits. A significantly lower weight loss was observed for coated mandarins after 10 days of storage at room temperature. An increase in 50.04% more total polyphenols was found in chitosan-coated mandarins after 10 days of room temperature storage, relative to the control sample.
