Assessing the Use of Aloe vera Gel Alone and in Combination with Lemongrass Essential Oil as a Coating Material for Strawberry Fruits: HPLC and EDX Analyses

Hanaa S. Hassan et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that the use of Aloe vera gel with lemongrass essential oil as an edible coating significantly enhances the shelf life of strawberries. The combination of 40% Aloe vera gel and 1% lemongrass essential oil showed the best preservation effect, maintaining fruit firmness and acidity while increasing total soluble solids and total anthocyanins. The treated fruits also exhibited lower weight loss and decreased microbial growth compared to the control group.

Impact of edible coatings on quality of fruits: A review

Francisco Javier Blancas-Benitez et al.

Summary: Fruit production has globally increased due to higher consumption in human diet, but significant losses can occur during production. The postharvest stage is crucial for fruit preservation, and edible coatings are used to control moisture and gas exchange between food and the environment. Edible coatings offer the advantage of incorporating active substances, improving shelf-life, organoleptic, and nutritional properties of fruits.

Impact ofAloe veragel coating enriched with basil (Ocimum basilicumL.) essential oil on postharvest quality of strawberry fruit

Leila Mohammadi et al.

Summary: The study found that the edible coating prepared from the combination of Aloe vera gel and basil oil had a significant effect on delaying the respiration rate, weight loss, softening, and fungal growth of strawberry fruit while maintaining total acidity, flavor index, L*, and hue degrees color values and sensory attributes during storage. The efficacy of treatments was enhanced in samples where Aloe vera gel was combined with basil oil, especially at a concentration of 1000 mu L L(-1) of basil oil, suggesting that it could be a promising postharvest treatment for maintaining the quality of strawberry fruit during cold storage.

Analysis, occurrence, and potential sensory significance of tropical fruit aroma thiols, 3-mercaptohexanol and 4-methyl-4-mercapto-2-pentanone, in Chinese Baijiu

Xuebo Song et al.

Summary: In this study, the tropical fruit aroma thiols 3-mercaptohexanol (3MH) and 4-methyl-4-mercapto-2pentanone (4MP) were found to be important contributors to the fruity aroma of Baijiu, with differences in their content and odor activity values in different types of Baijiu. The identification of 4MP for the first time in Baijiu and the use of multivariate statistical analysis to differentiate Baijiu based on 3MH and 4MP are significant findings of this research.
