background: edible films and coatings have potential benefits for food packaging, particularly meat products. these coatings prevent weight loss and texture changes during shelf life by reducing moisture loss in fresh and frozen meat products. in this study, effect of calcium alginate edible coating on microbial and chemical properties of refrigerated lamb meat over a period of  5 days was inve...

Citrus fruits are susceptible to microbial infection during storage and transportation, leading weight loss, quality deterioration even physiological decay. In this study, a layer-by-layer (LbL) self-assembly edible coating based on chitosan Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) was prepared using electrostatic deposition. Postharvest citrus (Citrus reticulate cv. ‘Chunxiang’) were coated either...

Jackfruit (Artopus heterophyllus) is an important fruit crop grown in india. This highly nutritious contains carbohydrate, protein, fibre, calcium, phosphorus, vitamin A, C, thiamine and riboflavin, fructose, glucose sucrose fatty acids of palmitic, oleic, stearic, linoleic, lauric, arachidic acids. It perishable loses its flavor, texture turns into brown colour. The softening makes it more sus...

starch is found in abundance in nature and it is one of the raw materials used for food packaging because of the low price, biodegradability, good mechanical and barrier properties. the recycling ability of coating materials was significantly increased by using edible films and coating in comparison to traditional packaging and it could be an alternative for synthetic films. in this research, t...
