Legitimate postharvest treatment of food produces is a higher priority than the serious and broad cultivating in making sure about nourishment for a country, since misfortunes are a misuse of food as well as they speak to a comparable misuse of human exertion, ranch inputs, jobs, speculations and scant recourses, for example, water. Postharvest misfortunes of agricultural yields when all is said in done and new products of the soil (perishables) specifically are normal issues in creating nations, similar to Ethiopia, which negatively affects the food security program. This is mostly a direct result of their transitory nature, absence of information and deficiency of capital. The other explanation is that a large portion of these perishables are delivered by little scope ranchers the individuals who have restricted information and monetarily poor in the creating nations. Along these lines, assessment of postharvest misfortunes of new foods grown from the ground is exceptionally significant for mindfulness creation to deal with the produce appropriately in order to spare from waste and harms by physical and physiological methods. The destinations of this audit are, hence, to evaluate the accessible writings on the postharvest misfortunes of new foods grown from the ground trying to distinguish need zones of the issue; to distinguish the reasons for misfortunes of perishables so as to dodge the foundations for the decrease of misfortunes; and to distinguish the potential methodologies that can decrease misfortunes and keep up nature of the items during the period.

Guava is a vital fruit worldwide, especially in Pakistan, and due to its nutritional value famous in each age group. Due to a very short shelf life, the marketing and export of this fruit faced severe constraints. Therefore, in the current study, edible coating of chitosan (0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0%) was evaluated on postharvest shelf life when guava fruits were stored (room temperature and 4 °C temperatures) for 12 days. The chitosan treated coating fruits have shown reduced total sugars and malondialdehyde levels compared to untreated control samples. However, a significant difference (p ≤ 0.05) in total sugar and malondialdehyde levels exists between samples stored in m compared to refrigerated temperature (4 °C). The chitosan-coated samples have shown a greater amount of vitamin C, quercetin, rutin, and total phenolic contents than control samples. However, these nutritional parameters' levels were significantly different (p ≤ 0.05) in samples stored at room than samples stored at refrigerated temperature. However, the levels of crude fiber, potassium, and sodium were found statistically nonsignificant (p ≥0.05) in control versus chitosan treated coating treatments. The findings have documented that the coatings of 1.5 and 2.0% were most effective for extension in shelf life and maintaining the nutritional attributes of guava fruit.

Guava (Psidium guajava) is a highly perishable fruit and is considered as climacteric. Therefore, some alternatives are studied to prolong post-harvest conservation, one of them being the application of edible coatings, which are based on polysaccharides. The objective of this study was to evaluate the post-harvest conservation of uncoated (control – T0) guavas and with edible coating containing 0.5% (T0.5) and 1.0% (T1.0) of konjac glucomannan. The fruits were immersed in the solutions and stored under refrigeration at 4 ° C for analysis at 7 and 15 days of storage. The main parameters evaluated in relation to fruit quality during storage were firmness and color, and with the coating application it was possible to observe a maintenance of these parameters when compared to the control (p <0.05). Besides that, the fruits with coating presented a lower loss of mass. The other parameters evaluated were not influenced by coating addition (p> 0.05), such as pH, acidity, soluble solids, ascorbic acid, luminosity and redness of the peel and color of the pulp. Therefore, coatings made with glucomannan from Konjac may be an alternative to guarantee the quality of fruits during its commercialization, increasing its shelf life.

Taste And Smell

Fresh figs are very sensitive to microbial spoilage, even in cold storage conditions. Thus, fresh figs are high perishable products during postharvest with microbiological decay that induces an unpleasant taste and smell due to rot, and suitable conservation methods must therefore be applied. The fruit usually is consumed fresh locally, dried, or preserved longer term in other transformed forms. A sustainable approach to extend the shelf-life of figs can be constituted by application of an edible coating able to maintain the quality of the fruit during storage. A comparison between fresh figs in a commercial preservation system, with the figs preserved in an edible coating, and an active edible coating to preserve their quality characteristics was carried out. The coating efficacy was enhanced with the addition of pomegranate peel extract at two different concentrations. The inclusion of a component with high antioxidant activity in an edible coating proved to be an excellent method for preserving the quality of this highly perishable fruit. The application of natural products, obtained from renewable sources, represents a simple and economic strategy, but also a tool capable of preserving the quality of the fruit during the postharvest storage, which is often consumed in production areas due to shelf-life problems.

Postharvest Treatment

1-Methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) is applied as an inhibitor of ethylene action, which is widely used in postharvest technology to prolong the shelf life of many fruits. The aim of the study was to assess the possibility to apply 1-MCP treatment to maintain the quality of ‘Idared’ apples for long-distance transportation. The studied apples were assessed in three groups: (I) 1-MCP postharvest treatment; (II) 1-MCP postharvest treatment with Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) selected gas permeability bags; and (III) control groups (with neither 1-MCP treatment, nor dedicated packaging). Apples were subjected to storage in the Ultra Low Oxygen (ULO) chamber that was applied for 0 weeks, 10 weeks and 20 weeks (three periods of storage); simulated long-distance transport (6 weeks); and simulated distribution, which was applied for 0 days, 5 days, 10 days, and 15 days (4 periods of distribution). The obtained 36 groups (three postharvest treatments per three periods of storage per four periods of distribution) were analyzed to assess firmness, total soluble solids (TSS) and titratable acidity (TA). There were differences between firmness values for control groups and those with 1-MCP applied, which were characterized by higher values of firmness (p < 0.05). Groups with 1-MCP and MAP applied combined were characterized by higher values of TSS than control groups (p < 0.05). The majority of groups with 1-MCP applied alone were characterized by higher values of TA than control groups (p < 0.05), but values for samples attributed to 1-MCP and MAP combined were not higher than for 1-MCP alone. It may be concluded that 1-MCP applied postharvest contributed to higher results of firmness and TA of ‘Idared’ apples after long-distance transportation, but combining 1-MCP with MAP did not contribute to further differences for TA. However, for TSS the observed influence was inconclusive. It may be stated that 1-MCP is a beneficial treatment for ‘Idared’ apples for long-distance transportation as it prolongs their shelf life and improves firmness.

This research was aimed to determine the exact glycerol concentration in the making of edible coating to coat the tomatoes so that the shelf life is extended and the quality is maintained. A Completely Randomized Design with one factor (RAL): glycerol concentration (without coating, 10%, 30%, 50%) was applied. The observed variables were weight shrinkage, color, hardness, total acid and vitamin C. Results showed that for 10 days storage period, the best response of the variables observed was obtained by tomatoes treated with edible coating 10% glycerol concentration that can maintain the quality of tomato and economically feasible than glycerol concentration of 30% and 50%.
