Salak madu merupakan salak unggul yang mempunyai nilai ekonomi lebih tinggi dari salak pondoh, namun kelemahannya adalah kulit buah tipis, sisik besar, daging berair membuat salak madu mudah mengering. Teknologi coating berbahan Aloe vera yang dikombinasikan beeswax diharapkan dapat menjaga mutu buah salak selama proses penyimpanan. Tujuan penelitian adalah mengkaji aplikasi coating berbahan Aloe vera-beeswax pada salak madu. Salak madu yang digunakan berasal dari Sleman, Yogyakarta. Percobaan dilakukan dengan perlakuan kombinasi Aloe vera 30% dan beeswax 3% yang diaplikasikan dalam bentuk komposit (emulsi) dan bilayer. Hasil dari perlakuan dibandingkan dengan kontrol (tanpa coating). Semua sampel percobaan disimpan pada suhu ruang (27 oC - 28 oC). Rancangan percobaan yang digunakan adalah Acak Lengkap 3 perlakuan (komposit, bilayer, kontrol). Variabel mutu yang diamati adalah kerusakan, kadar air daging, susut bobot, dan kecerahan kulit. Hasil kajian menunjukkan perlakuan coating berbahan Aloe vera yang dikombinasikan dengan beeswax dapat mempertahankan mutu buah salak madu hingga hari ke-8 dengan tingkat kerusakan sebesar 32.38%, sedang pada kontrol mencapai 55.24%. Aplikasi dalam bentuk komposit menghasilkan mutu yang lebih baik dibandingkan bilayer pada susut bobot dan kecerahan kulit sedang variable mutu lainnya tidak berbeda nyata. Coating salak madu menggunakan Aloe vera-beeswax terbaik adalah dalam bentuk komposit (emulsi) dengan metode celup. Kata kunci: bilayer, emulsi, metode celup, suhu ruang.

The physical and chemical characteristics of the fruit have immense significance as they ultimately affect the quality of processed productsprepared from them. Over ripening of Sapota (Manilkara zapota) fruits at the post-harvest stage usually results in dramatic decline in quality.In the present study, physico chemical analysis (which includes Weight loss, Colour, Texture, TSS, pH, TA and Ascorbic acid content) ofedible Aloe vera gel coated Sapota fruits packed in LDPE and stored at 15 ± 2? were studied at regular intervals of 5 days i.e., 0th,5th, 10th,15thand 20th days. The dip treatment of Aloe vera gel coating 1:2, 7 minutes had best retained the physico chemical characteristics than the othertreatments performed and was found to be the most effective treatment in maintaining the fruit quality attributes along with the shelf lifeextension of about 20 days.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/ijasbt.v3i1.11703 Int J Appl Sci Biotechnol, Vol. 3(1): 20-25

Aloe vera gel has been investigated as possible edible coating to help improve the storage life of fruits after harvest. The study sought to investigate the effect Aloe vera gel coating with or without citric acid pretreatment on the quality of eggplant fruits during low temperature storage and in shelf life. Briefly, eggplants were coated with Aloe vera gel (some fruits were pretreated with citrate prior to the coating) and the changes in physicochemical quality of the fruit measured during storage at 10 °C. After 14 days, however, some fruits were transferred for storage at room temperature until day 18. Coating with Aloe vera decreased moisture loss, and consequently, decreased weight loss and loss of firmness of the fruit. The coating did help maintain the phenolic content, ascorbate levels and antioxidant capacity of the fruit. Pre-treating the fruit with citrate did not improve quality, showing that Aloe vera gel can be applied alone to enhance the storage quality of eggplant fruit. Results obtained from this study shows that Aloe vera gel coating can be useful in extending the postharvest storage life and maintaining the quality of eggplant fruits during low temperature storage.
