Study on the Preservation of New Chitosan Hydrogel in Navel Orange

Article Preview

Abstract:

The aim was to study the preservation of coating with chitosan hydrogel on navel oranges. And the result showed that coating with 2.0% chitosan hydrogel had a higher SOD activity and lower respiration rate, membrane permeability and MDA content, which could effectively remain navel oranges’ quality and extend the shelf life.
