Evaluation of the Effect of Chitosan-Based Edible Film and Coating Material on Dried Mulberry

Year: 2022

Type: article

Abstract: The purpose of applying coating methods is to slow down the chemical deterioration that will occur in foods. The effect of the model organism, which is considered as a warehouse pest, on the coated mulberry was determined. At the end of storage, weight, texture and sensory analyzes of the fruit were made. Sensory analyzes were evaluated by 20 semi-trained panelists in terms of color, appearance, hardness, taste, smell, general taste. In terms of weight, it was observed that the weight of 1% chitosan coated mulberries was higher. In terms of texture, although the groups were statistically similar, it was determined that the hardness of the samples in the environment with storage pests decreased somewhat. According to sensory data, it was determined that the panelists had a positive approach towards 0.2% coated mulberry. As a result, the edible coating is considered to be usable on mulberries.
