Figure 4. The effect of time on L* during storage time
The results showed that the 60% chitosan + 40% coating delays maturation and fruit ripening, and reduces oxygen levels, and results in lower phenolic and antioxidant compounds during storage. This is due to when chitosan and aloe vera mixed together, can be a further barrier to oxygen and the oxidation of phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity during storage. According to the results of this research we can conclude that 60% chitosan + 40% aloe vera maintains phenolic and antioxidant compounds and has the best effect on the antioxidant properties of the samples..
