Comparative Study on Essential Oils Incorporated into an Alginate-Based Edible Coating To Assure the Safety and Quality of Fresh-Cut Fuji Apples
Open accessAbstract
Cinnamon, clove, and lemongrass essential oils (EOs) and their active compounds cinnamaldehyde, eugenol, and citral, respectively, were investigated for their effectiveness as antimicrobial agents in an alginate-based edible coating (EC) on fresh-cut Fuji apples. This EC also contained malic acid, N-acetyl-L-cysteine, glutathione, and calcium lactate as quality stabilizing compounds. The EC applied on apple pieces effectively maintained the physicochemical characteristics of the apple pieces for more than 30 days, decreased the respiration rate, reduced the Escherichia coli O157:H7 population by about 1.23 log CFU/g at day 0, and extended the microbiological shelf life by at least 19 days. The addition of EOs at 0.7% (vol/vol) or their active compounds at 0.5% (vol/vol) into the EC increased its antimicrobial effect, reduced the E. coli O157:H7 population by more than 4 log CFU/g, and extended the microbiological shelf life by more than 30 days. However, those concentrations of EOs affected the physicochemical characteristics of fresh-cut apples and thus limited their shelf life from 7 to 21 days. Lemongrass and cinnamon EOs (0.7%), citral (0.5%), and cinnamaldehyde (0.5%) were the most effective compounds for extending microbiological shelf life, whereas lemongrass, cinnamon, and clove EOs at 0.3% (vol/vol) best maintained the physicochemical characteristics of the product. Apple pieces with EC at day 0 and with EC with or without lemongrass EO at 0.7% at day 15 were preferred by the panelists. ECs containing natural antimicrobials and quality stabilizing compounds may be useful for extending the shelf life of fresh-cut fruits.

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.
