Application of Silica Aerogel-Shellac Wax Composite in Mango Preservation

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, the compound shellac fruit wax was prepared by SiO2 aerogel, shellac, sodium hydroxide, fungicide. The obtained fruit wax was used to preserve the mango in tropical area. The results show that the compound shellac fruit wax with 0.2% SiO2 aerogel can suppresses water loss, adjust the respiration, reduce the rot rate, thus extending the preservation time of mango.
