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.

Demand for mangosteen fruits (Garciana mangostana L) is currently increasing both for local and export markets. Quality of mangosteen fruit has been kept until now, even increased by efforts of post-harvest handling. The problem on postharvest of mangosteen is mainly on storage process. The quality of mangosteen is affected by the temperature condition during storage period. Waxing is usually used for fruits to extend their shelf life. In this study, combination of waxing and low temperature storage were studied to obtain the optimum storage condition for mangosteen. The objectives of this study were to determine the effect of combination of waxing and low temperature storage on the quality changes of mangosteen. It was shown that storage of mangosteen with waxing treatment of 5% and temperature storage of 8oC resulted the longest period of storage, i.e., 39 days. At this condition, the firmness was 2.00 kgf, total soluble solid was 16.10oBrix, and respiration rate of CO2 was 1.67ml/kg hr. In this study, prediction of storage life of mangosteen was carried out based on the firmness which accepted by panelist from organoleptic test. It is shown that waxing concentration 0% and temperature storage 8oC effectiveness to storage life until 16 days.

Even under conditions considered to be optimum for maintaining fruit quality, oranges and lemons which are not treated with fungicides may develop 25–50% decay during extended periods of storage. Under unfavourable conditions commonly occurring in many tropical countries, wastage is certainly no less. Such losses can be significantly reduced by low temperature storage and chemical treatment, but resistance to fungicides emphasizes a need for further research in this area.
