Optimisation of emulsion-based edible coating and development of coating applicator machine for postharvest life study of guavas (Psidium Guajava L.) / Mohd Zahid Abidin

Application of edible coating represents a method that can extend the shelf life of picked guava by minimising the weight loss mainly due to natural migration process of moisture and gases. Response surface methodology (RSM) was employed to search for best composition of edible coating comprise...
