Abstract:
The application of post harvest conservation techniques, such as edible coating, has been employed to minimize deleterious effects after fruit harvest, such sugar apple. Thus, it was aimed to assess the effects of the coatings on the basis of hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) and beeswax (CA) in quality of sugar apple stored in temperature controlled environment of 20 ± 2 °C and 50 ± 3% RH from the local market town of Juazeiro-BA. The coatings base HPMC associated CA firmly maintained and the whitening index of the pulp of the longer cones, and leads to lower activity of the enzyme polyphenoloxidase (PPO) and Peroxidase (POD) during storage.
