Abstract

Two types of edible fruit coating and an active packaging were tested for their effect during 15 days of storage at atmosphere condition (24-25oC) with 60-70 % RH. One coating was alginate-based, while the other hand had palm oil-based as the main ingredient. These two coatings exhibit weight loss reduction and appearance change compared to uncoated, but only the palm-based coating delay ripening can extend 10 days of shelf life during storage. On the other side, Active packaging can effectively delay ripening during 15 days of storage. Moreover, these results show that active packaging might be a viable alternative to extend mango's shelf life because it can maintain weight loss below 3% during storage at atmospheric conditions.
