Application of edible coatings in '<i>Emerald</i>' blueberry under room storage conditions and storage kinetics analysis.

ABSTRACT: Blueberry is nutritious but perishable, which could be preserved using edible coatings. However, the blueberry storage kinetics at room conditions were rarely revealed. So, the 'Emerald' blueberries were adopted to divided into four groups including control (CK), carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), chitosan (CS) and layer-by-layer coatings (LBL) groups, to analyze the coatings effects on the blueberry qualities and storage kinetics. The LBL coatings extended the storage life up to 9 days at (20 ± 5) °C and (60 ± 10) % relative humidity. Besides, the zero-order reaction models could be represented the storage kinetics parameters like rotting rate, weight loss rate, hardness, SSC, respiration rate, and DPPH∙ scavenging rate for all coatings, except the cell membrane permeability and the POD
