Chitosan Coating to Extend the Storage Life of Tomatoes
Open accessAbstract
The effect of chitosan on respiration, ethylene production, and quality attributes of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) fruit stored at 20C was investigated. Coating the fruit with chitosan solutions reduced the respiration rate and ethylene production, with greater effect at 2% than 1% chitosan. Coating increased the internal CO, and decreased the internal O 2 levels of the tomatoes. Chitosan-coated tomatoes were firmer, higher in titratable acidity, less decayed, and exhibited less red pigmentation than the control fruit at the end of storage. Chemical name used: 2-amino-2- deoxy-p-D)-glucan (chitosan).

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.
