the results of the present study asserted that the incorporation
of OOR into CH was improved its
filmogenic properties. Also, the
coatings of CH or CH-OOR have a beneficial impact on the quality
retention of cold storage apple and strawberry fruits especially
when coated by CH-OLE 20 g L1. The use of OOR also maintained
lower activities of cell wall deterioration as calculated by MDA.
Likewise, the incorporation of OOR to CH enhanced its antifungal
activity against P. expansum and R. stolonifer counted and decay
area. Hence, coatings of apple and strawberry fruits with CH-OOR
may be useful for improving postharvest quality and shelf-life
comparing to CH only or WW-TBZ, applying it commercially is
indigence.
