Article Synopsis
  • - Acerola fruits have high nutritional value but degrade quickly, which complicates their commercialization; using edible coatings can help protect and maintain their quality during storage.
  • - A new edible coating made from pearl pineapple peel flour and yam starch has been developed, showing effective moisture retention and minimal weight loss, particularly when refrigerated.
  • - The study found that the coated acerolas (T3 treatment) maintained better color and soluble solid levels compared to uncoated and glycerol-coated fruits, indicating that this coating technology can enhance the post-harvest quality of acerola.
