Utilisation of palm – based and beeswax coating on the postharvest-life of guava (Psidium Guajava L.) during ambient and chilled storage. International Food Research Journal, 20 (1). pp. 265-274. ISSN 2231-7546 (2013)
Abstract
Guava is a climacteric fruit which has high nutritional content. It is a highly perishable fruit, undergoes rapid postharvest ripening in a few days under ambient condition. This paper aims to determine the effect of palm stearin and palm kernel olein blends on maintaining the quality of guava during storage. Two different coating formulations of palm stearin (PS) and palm kernel olein (PKOo) blends (1:1 and 3:2) were analysed for their slip melting point (SMP), cohesiveness, viscosity and density. Beeswax was used as a commercial coating for comparison whiles the uncoated guava was used as control.
