Abstract

The study focuses on determining the effectiveness of chitosan coating with different concentrations at different storage temperatures on brinjal (Solanum melongena). A
primary concern of brinjals is that the shelf life of the brinjal is very short. An edible coating is an eco-friendly technology that used in many industries including the food
industry. There are many edible coatings available in the industry. Chitosan coating is one of the edible coatings used in order to prolong the shelf-life of the brinjals. An
edible coating is increasingly important in the post-harvest technology to reduce the losses. This study investigates the factors that determine the effectiveness of the chitosan which is the concentration and temperatures of the storage. Different concentrations of chitosan are 1.0%, 1.5% and 2.0%. Different temperatures are ambient temperature (30±2) and cool storage. Four parameters were examined which are colour, weight loss, firmness/texture, and Total soluble solids (TSS). Results show that 2.0% is better at ambient temperature and 1.0% better at cool storage.
