Minimally processed strawberries have high acceptability but a short shelf life. The application of edible coatings with essential oils may be an alternative to preserve these fruits. Our objective was to develop, apply and characterize the effect of bioactive edible coatings based on agar or sodium algi...

Effect of edible quinoa protein-chitosan based films on refrigerated strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) quality

Valenzuela, Carolina; Tapia, Cristian; López, Luis; Bunger, Andrea; Escalona, Victor; Abugoch, Lilian.

Electron. j. biotechnol; 18 (6), 2015

Background Strawberries are non-climacteric fruits with a low respiration rate, but are subject to serious fungal deterioration during postharvest handling. The edible coatings based on chitosan (CH), quinoa protein-chitosan (Q/CH) and quinoa protein-chitosan-sunflower oil (Q/CH/SO) may provide a solutio...
