Conclusions
The results revealed that 1.5–2% concentration of neem
oil as a surface coating along with pre-cooling at 10 °C
was the most effective in providing better physicochemical
umbrella, significantly lowering the fruit spoilage.
The neem oil surface coating along with shrink wrap
tray packing under 18–25 °C (65–75% RH) resulted the
longest storage life up to 45 days. Among three different
concentrations of marigold flower extracts (10%, 15%,
20% ), higher retention of fruit firmness, pectin content,
anthocyanin pigments, PG enzyme activity was recorded
by 20% marigold extract surface coating with shrink
wrap tray packing along with pre cooling. Future
research should be needed to encourage the use of such
botanicals for development of edible wax formulations
for other economically important fruits and to popularize
among farmers.
