Abstract
The efficiency of Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) based Chickpea Hull Polysaccharides (CHPS) edible coating with regards to shelf life and physicochemical properties of cherry tomatoes were determined. Cherry tomatoes were coated with various CHPS concentrations (0.25, 0.50, 0.75 and 1.00%) to preserve cherry tomatoes during storage at 20◦C. The CMC-incorporated CHPS coatings were found effective to reduce the respiration rate, weight loss, firmness, lycopene content, total soluble solid, vitamin C, total polyphenols, and to improve the overall likeness of fruit compared with the control. All these effects were noted to be dose-dependent. Taken together, using CMC-incorporated CHPS coatings could prolong the shelf life of cherry tomatoes.
