Evaluating the efficacy of chitosan and CMC incorporated with moringa leaf extracts on reducing peteca spot incidence on ‘Eureka’ lemon
Tóm tắt
Lemon (Citrus limon L.) is one of the most cultivated citrus fruit in South Africa. In citrus packhouses, fruit are coated with commercial synthetic waxes to enhance shelflife. However, the use of waxes has been linked to peteca spot (PS) incidence in lemons. This study evaluated the efficacy of chitosan (CH) and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) incorporated with moringa leaf extracts (M) on reducing peteca spot incidence on ‘Eureka’ lemon. A total of 500 ‘Eureka’ lemons were harvested from outside and inside canopy positions from a commercial orchard in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Fruit were assigned to five coating treatments, namely; control, 1% M + CMC, 1% CMC, 1% CH and 1% M + CH. After coating, fruit were transferred into a cold room with delivery air temperature set at 3 °C for 12 weeks to induce the disorder. At each sampling week, peteca spot incidence, fruit physicochemical and phytochemical properties including color, mass, vitamin C, carotenoids, TSS, TA and phenolics were measured. The results showed that coating treatments and canopy position significantly affected PS incidence. Fruit coated with M + CMC, CMC, CH were less susceptible to PS development in both inside and outside canopy compared to the control and M + CH coated fruit. Coating treatments significantly affected phenolic and flavonoid concentration. Moreover, coating treatments significantly reduced mass loss, ascorbic acid loss and delayed color change of fruit. The results found in this study demonstrated the ability of either M + CMC, CMC, or CH as coating treatments for reducing PS in ‘Eureka’ lemon.
