Effects of chitosan coating enriched with cinnamon oil on qualitative properties of sweet pepper (Capsicum annuum L.)
Abstract
Effect of chitosan–oil coating on qualitative properties of sweet pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) stored at 8°C for 35days was investigated. The chitosan–oil coating treatment exhibited the best control effect on decay (below 5%). At the end of storage, samples treated with chitosan-oil coatings maintained good sensory acceptability, whereas the sensory quality of control samples became unacceptable. The higher activities of scavenger antioxidant enzymes, including superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD) and catalase (CAT), in treated peppers at the 35th day should be contributed to the chitosan–oil coating. Malondialdehyde (MDA) and electrolyte leakage contents in chitosan–oil-coated peppers were increased but were still lower than in control samples. Atomic force microscopy images showed that the surface of sweet pepper without coating treatment was rougher than that of peppers treated with chitosan–oil coating. Our study suggests that chitosan–oil coating might be a promising candidate for enhancing the keeping quality of sweet peppers.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
