Andean blackberry is cultivated in Colombia due to its national and international commercial importance, in addition to its flavour and high nutritional value. Due to its physicochemical, morphological, and physiological characteristics, it constitutes one of the most unstable fruits in the Colombian fruit and vegetable supply chain, thereby generating economic losses. In this study, a polymer-based coating of Aloe vera and essential oil was designed, and its influence on the shelf life of Andean blackberry stored at 4 °C was studied. Once the appropriate composition was established according to the experimental design, Andean blackberries’ physicochemical parameters, the content of total phenols, and antioxidant activity were monitored over 19 days. The total soluble solids present a change between 5.2 and 5.6° Brix and 5.2 and 7.2° Brix for coated and uncoated fruits between 1 and 19 days, respectively. The coated fruits presented a lower loss compared to the uncoated fruits and the total phenol content presented a higher concentration on day 19 in the coated fruits (412.71 ± 37.5 mg Gallic Acid Equivalents L−1 sample). The coating enabled an increase in the shelf life of the blackberries, from 4 to 19 days, while preserving the physicochemical properties of the fruits. Therefore, the application of coating as a method for the post-harvest preservation of Andean blackberries represents a low-cost, easily available strategy.

Avocado is a climacteric fruit that still conducting physiological processes after being harvested, so that the fruit can reduce its freshness and increase its damage at room temperature. One treatment to extend the shelf life of avocados is by using an edible coating. Natural edible coating that has the potential to be used as a coating for avocados is aloe vera gel. The objective of this study was to determine an optimum concentration of edible coating made from aloe vera gel for avocado in order to extend its shelf life under room temperature storage. Three level concentrations of aloe vera gel used in this research were 30% (AV30), 50% (AV50), and without coating (Control). The quality parameters analyzed were weight loss, skin water content, percent of decay, hardness, color, and total soluble solids. The results showed that edible aloe vera gel coating significantly affected weight loss, skin water content, percent of decay, hardness, and total soluble solids of avocados. Among the treatments, the research found and recommend that the 50% of aloe vera coating was good enough to extend avocado until 18 days under room temperature storage.

In this experiment the effects of aloe vera gel coating on storage behavior of papaya at room temperature (290C-310C) was studied. Physico-chemical parameters such as color, physical changes, moisture, ash, acidity, vitamin C, protein, fat and total soluble solids (TSS) of papaya and aloe vera was determined at 3 days interval during the storage period. Among the physico-chemical parameters, color, physical changes, total weight loss and TSS contents increased significantly, whereas moisture content, vitamin C and titrable acidity decreased during storage. Control and 0.5% aloe vera treated papaya decayed from 6 days onward and completely decayed within 12 days of storage. On the other hand, 1% and 1.5% aloe vera gel coated papaya maintained their shelf-life for 9 and 12 days, respectively. Some of 1.5% aloe vera coated papaya decayed after 15 days. Papaya treated with 1.5% aloe vera solution, maintained their color & physical changes compared to other treatments up to 12 days of storage. The overall results showed the superiority of 1.5% aloe vera gel coating in extending the shelf-life of papaya upto 15 days compared to that of 0.5%, 1% aloe vera gel coating and control papaya. The present study describes the preparation and potential application of aloe vera gel coatings for enhancing the postharvest life and quality of papaya.J. Bangladesh Agril.

The edible coating is biodegradable and sustainable packaging has come into attention since the past few decades as an effort to reduce packaging waste. On a landmark fruit, the edible application layer is used to reduce the occurrence of loss of moisture, improve appearance, acts as a barrier to the exchange of gases, as well as having functions as an antifungal and antimicrobial. In addition to extending shelf life can be eaten these many layers are used such as it does not endanger human health, can be eaten as well as easy to untangle nature.  One of the natural ingredients that can be used such as a layer of edible is Aloe Vera. From the results obtained that the weight without warming treatment gel stored at cool temperatures is relatively constant, while to gel without or with the treatment of warming that is stored at room temperature a little decline. The reduction drastic invisible on the gel with the saved warming treatment in cold temperatures. Aloe gel good shaped pieces that are stored at room temperature has decreased the weight but that is stored on the cold temperatures are relatively stable. The aloe vera gel with warming and stored at cool temperatures until day 5 relatively stable, as seen from the variable weight shrinkage, color, pH, viscosity, and moisture content. While the gel is stored at room temperature decrease began day 2. Aloe Vera gel should be stored at cool temperatures with a sealed container. The best characteristics of Aloe Vera gel that treatment with sorbitol can extend the shelf life strawberry fruit. edible coating base on Aloe gel can be applied at post-harvest handling fruits.

Jackfruit has a short shelf life, can only last between 2-3 days at room temperature. Several ways can be done to maintain the shelf life of jackfruits, such as storage in the cold room, pressurized space, or modification of the atmosphere of the room. But this method requires expensive operational costs. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of using aloe vera gel as an edible coating to be applied to the jackfruit. The study was conducted with the stages of making aloe vera gel as an edible coating, coating the edible coating on the sample, then the sample was stored at 10 and 29oC for 10 days. The research parameters observed were water content, texture, and color. The results showed that the water content of jackfruit could be maintained using an edible coating. The shelf life of jackfruit was longer stored at 10oC than stored at 29oC. The best edible coating results obtained on the treatment of aloe vera gel with a concentration of 0.5% CMC because it can inhibit the increase in water content, maintain texture, and the color of jackfruit is still like fresh fruit. To improve the results of this study, it is necessary to conduct further research by examining the effect of aloe vera gel on the taste and aroma of jackfruit.

The demand for healthy and ready-to-eat products has been growing steadily over the years. However, these products are very susceptible to spoilage and have a short shelf-life. In this research, edible coatings based on edible starch (aloe vera gel) and NaHCO3 were applied on fresh-cut vegetable samples (carrot and potato), and the changes in their bio-chemical properties and microbial changes were monitored during 6 days of storage at 4ºC. Two factor experiments, Factor A; postharvest treatments (different concentration of aloe gel and NaHCO3) and Factor B; two vegetable species (Carrot and Potato) were laid out in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with three replications. Different concentration of aloe vera gel and NaHCO3 solutions were prepared as per treatment. The prepared slices of vegetable species were treated with different treatment combinations and stored in 200 g capacity polyethylene bags sealed under air, vacuum or modified active atmosphere and then bio-chemically (Titratable Acidity (TA), Ascorbic Acid (AA) content, Total Soluble Solids (TSS), Reducing Sugar (RS), Non-reducing Sugar (NRS), pH) and microbiologically assessed. Higher rate of edible starch (30%) + NaHCO3 (2%) treated potato (CT12) showed the superior performance on TA (1.290), TSS (5.200% Brix), NRS content (0.340) and pH (4.773% Brix) compare to control and other interaction treatments of the study at 6 days after storage while  untreated potato (T0) showed statistically lower AA (6.575 mg/25 g) TA (0.464) TSS (3.856), pH (3.827) NRS (0.133). Growth of bacterial colonies on NA media had statistically highest (14.00) in untreated potato and lowest (5.00) in T12 treated potato while fungal colonies on PDA media range of 4.00 to 11 at 6 DAS. The study may help small-scale establishments to increase the shelf-life of minimally processed vegetables.
