Comparative evaluation of chitosan and Sterculia foetida gum-based edible coatings containing Glinus oppositifolius extract for shelf-life extension
Fresh fruits are highly vulnerable to postharvest losses caused by moisture loss, microbial growth, and oxidative deterioration. This study developed active edible coatings based on Sterculia foetida gum (SFG) incorporated with Glinus oppositifolius extract (GOE) and compared their performance with chitosan-based coati...
