Abstract

Effect of edible coatings in combination with antibrowning agents on fresh-cut apple slices was studied during storage at 3 ℃ for 2 weeks.The results showed that the initial respiration rate was decreased by 5% and 20% in carrageenan(0.5 %)-coated and whey protein concentrate(5 %)-coated apples,respectively,at 25 ℃.Edible coatings in combination with antibrowning agents effectively prolonged the shelf-life of frush-cut apple slices by 2 week when stored in packed trays at 3 ℃.Addition of antibrowning agents to these coating solutions was advantageous in maintaining color during storage.Addition of CaCl_2(1 %L) significantly inhibited the loss of firmness.These edible coatings in combination with antibrowning agents also showed positive sensory analysis results and beneficial reduction of microbial levels.WPC(5 %) containing ascorbic acid(1 %) plus CaCl_2(1 %) was the most effective preservation treatment in terms of sensory quality after 2 weeks.
