Fig. 3. Effect of different concentrations of lemongrass essential oil incorporated into alginate-based edible coating on (A) total plate counts and (B) yeast and mould counts of
fresh-cut pineapple during 16 days of storage at 10 ± 1 ◦ C; 65 ± 10% RH. Means with the same letters (lowercase: amongst different treatments for the same time; uppercase:
for the same treatment during different storage times) are not significantly different according to Tukey’s test (p > 0.05). EC = alginate-based edible coating; Lg = lemongrass.
