The predicted results indicated that the overall
optimized region for gellan-based edible coating
was achieved by formulation comprising of 0.56%(
w/v) gellan gum and 0.89% (w/v) glycerol. Under
the optimized condition, weight loss, firmness and
respiration rate of gellan-based coated fresh-cut
pineapples were predicted to be 11.36%, 2.55 N and
29.63 ml CO2/kg.h respectively
