The purpose of this work was to investigate the effect of CS-AA coating and CS-CaCl2 coating on the anti-browning and quality maintaining of fresh-cut apples. All the coatings were found adhering tightly to the surface of the apple slices during the entire storage time. All the coatings possessed the ability to maintain AA contentof apple slices. CS was not only a good anti-browning agent butalso a good nutrient holder when it was mixed with CaCl2. Concluding from the lower weight loss and higher AA content of apple slices, CS-CaCl2 coating showed a great quality maintaining ability when compared with CS-AA coating. But CS-CaCl2 coating seemed to lack the ability of inhibiting the metabolic activity of fresh-cut apples as the SSC of apple slices coated with CS-CaCl2 coating was not so reasonable. In this work, we have presented an effective and low-cost method to enhance the preservation of fresh-cut apples.This method could largely prolong the shelf-life of fresh-cut apples at room temperature and do not produce any negative changes in sensory attributes. We hope that this method will be a new system for food preservation and will have lots of possible industrial applications.
