Previous studies on the same matrix showed that the combined
treatment of coating formulation and (non-pulsed) UV-C radiation
significantly reduced
firmness loss during refrigerated storage
(Severino et al., 2014a). To the best of our knowledge, no results are
available on the combined use of pulsed light and edible coatings.
Therefore, more research is needed on this emerging topic, in orderto develop a more comprehensive understanding of how PL and its
side effects may affect the composition of coating material and
impact the properties of food products
