In Table 10 and 11. The edible coatings of this experiment did not decrease weight loss as compared to uncoated samples (control) (Tables 10 and 11). Moreover, for AL the edible coatings with Cit at both concentrations and for PE the PE 1% + Cit 0.3%, PE 1% + Cit 0.15% + Eug 0.1% and PE 0.2% gave significantly higher weigh loss than control. The weight loss in the other treatments did not significantly differ from control. Generally, there were no significant differences between the use of AL or PE (P = 0.204).
