Effect of chitosan coatings on the physicochemical characteristics of Eksotika II papaya (Carica papaya L.) fruit during cold storage
The effect of chitosan on the physicochemical characteristics of Eksotika II papaya fruit stored at 12 ± 1 °C and 85–90% relative humidity, was investigated. Chitosan provided an effective control in reducing weight loss, maintained firmness, delayed changes in the peel colour and soluble solids con...
