The Effect of Nanocoatings Enriched with Essential Oils on 'Rocha' Pear Long Storage.

The effect of coating 'Rocha' pears with alginate-based nanoemulsions enriched with lemongrass essential oil (LG) or citral (Cit) was investigated. Fruit were treated with the nanoemulsions: sodium alginate 2% (/) + citral 1% (/) (Cit1%); sodium alginate 2% (/) + citral 2% (/) (Cit2%); sodium alginate 2% (/) + lemongrass 1.25% (/) (LG1.
