Pengaruh Edible Coating Berbasis Kitosan, Ekstrak Aloe Vera Dengan Penambahan Pektin Jeruk Terhadap Masa Simpan Buah Pir Potong by Muryeti Muryeti, Koulan Sadida

“…Quality tests were then carried out, including weight loss, pH, vitamin C content, total dissolved solids and organoleptics.The results showed that edible coatings significantly reduced weight loss, maintained total soluble solid, pH, vitamin C content, and organoleptic quality, extending the shelf life of sliced pears compared to untreated pears (control). The percentage value of weight loss was obtained at 0.0389%, while pH 3.5, TPT 7.0°Brix, vitamin C content 24.75 mg/10g, color preference reached 3.3, aroma preference reached 1.9 and texture preference reached 2.4.The optimal concentration was determined to be 2% aloe vera and 2% chitosan (V1K2). …”
