Article Synopsis
- The research explored the use of fish gelatin-chitosan edible coatings enriched with black tea extract to improve the preservation of minimally processed watermelons stored at about 4 °C for 13 days.
- The edible coatings included ingredients like gelatin, chitosan, calcium lactate, glycerol, and varying amounts of black tea extract.
- Results indicated that these coatings effectively reduced weight loss, maintained texture, color, and antioxidant properties, and prevented fungal decay, showcasing a potential method to enhance shelf life and minimize postharvest loss in fruits.
