Development and Effectiveness of Lipid–Polysaccharide Conglomerated Composite Edible Coating to Enhance Postharvest Life of Whole Muskmelon (Cucumis melo L.) var. Ravi
Abstract: Lipids can be combined with polysaccharides to create conglomerated composite edible coatings in which the components are interspersed throughout the coating. An experimental lipid–polysaccharide conglomerated composite (LPCC) edible coating was developed from lipids (vegetable oils and resins) and polysaccharides (gum Arabic, CMC). Whole muskmelons (var. Ravi) were coated with LPCC edible coating by spraying method and stored at 12±2 ºC with 90–95% relative humidity. The effectiveness of LPCC edible coating …

Effect of Edible Coatings on the Storage Quality of Avocado (Persea americana)
Abstract: Avocado is a highly perishable fruit. Studies were conducted to find effect of edible coatings and storage conditions on various storage changes which directly or indirectly influence quality and marketability of the fruit. Two types of edible coatings namely bee wax and aloe vera gel were used and fruit was stored in two types of storage conditions namely ambient temperature and zero energy cool chamber (ZECC). The experiment was arranged …

Comparison of Indigenous-Based Edible Skin Coating Materials (SCMs) and Imported Wax (Citrashine®) on the Post-Harvest Quality and Shelf Life of (Citrus reticulata Blanco) Mandarins
Abstract: Pakistan is the largest mandarin producing and exporting country across the globe. All the wax used by the citrus industry of Pakistan is currently being imported costing a valuable foreign reserve. The Post-Harvest Research Center (PHRC), Faisalabad, Pakistan prepared two edible skin coating materials (SCMs) as an alternative to the imported wax. Therefore, this research was devised to compare the effects of these indigenous-based edible SCMs with those of an …

Crosslinked Starch Polymer for Coating on Fruit/Vegetable for Preservation Derived from Waste De-Oiled Soybean Cake
Abstract: Cross-linked starch films have been prepared by reacting starch extracted from de-oiled soybean cake (waste material from oil industry) with bio-based acids citric acid and tartaric acid. The obtained films were characterized by spectroscopic, thermal and surface morphological techniques. Thermal analysis showed that thin film has good thermal stability. The micrographs obtained from scanning electron microscopy showed the film surface has smooth and uniform morphology. Biological properties like cytocompatibility, antimicrobial …

Scope of Edible Packaging for Micronutrient Fortification of Dairy Products
Abstract: Edible films and coatings have long been used for food protection and shelf life improvement. Essential components for producing edible films and coatings are biopolymers, plasticizers and certain optional ingredients. Edible films and coatings have been used as vehicles for delivery of minerals such as calcium, zinc, iron and magnesium and also for delivery of vitamins such as niacin, riboflavin, vitamin A, vitamin E and vitamin C in food products …
