3.1. Effect of Chitosan Coating on Weight Loss
The changes in weight loss of chitosan coated bananas during one week storage were depicted in Fig. 1 and Fig.2. As the banana fruits were easily perishable, the uncoated banana showed to be overripe at day four, thus in this experiment, the storage time was limited to seven days. For the entire duration of the storage the percentage of weight loss in the control sample (uncoated) was higher than in coated samples (p
