The effects of chitosan-based coatings on the postharvest performance Chinese cherry during a twenty days storage period were investigated. The chitosan-based coatings effectively delayed postharvest ripening parameters including weight loss, decay rate, firmness, soluble solid content (SSC) and titratable acidity (TA). The most effective treatment was a combined chitosan and nano-SiOx coating, which led to 51% less weight loss, 32% less decay rate, 57% more firmness, and less SSC and TA content changes than the control group. This combined coating also maintained a higher content of sodium carbonate-soluble pectin (SSP), and inhibited pectin chain degradation. Qualitative and quantitative analysis revealed that the firmness of fruit was closely related to nanostructural morphologies and SSP chain width. In addition, modifications of SSP were correlated with fruit softening, especially SSP polymers and branched chains. These results demonstrate the effect of chitosan and nano-SiOx coating on extending the shelf life of Chinese cherries during postharvest storage.
