Fig. 1 shows different sensitivities of strains to different coatings applied on the mangoes. The concentration of chitosan in the coating solution and the presence of the enzyme system affected the fungal decay of the fruit. These studies reported that the antifungal effect of chitosan was dependent on concentration.
These results showed that there was a synergistic effect of chitosan and LPOS. Inhibitory effects increased with the incorporation of LPOS or LPOSI in chitosan at 1 or 1.5% the inhibition
