The FG are perishable, it is proposed to develop edible coatings (RC). The objective was to evaluate CR based on starch (2 %) of FG (2 % w/v) in FG stored at 15 ± 2 °C and 22 ± 2 °C. Weight loss PP (%), firmness F (N), titratable acidity AT (%), total soluble solids TSS (°Brix) and color (L*C*H) were evaluated. Treatment design: FG without CR at 22 ± 2 °C for 8 d (T1), FG with CR at 22 ± 2 °C for 10 d (T2) and FG without CR (T3) and FG with CR at 15 ± 2 °C for 4 d and subsequently transferred to 22 ± 2 °C for 8 d (T4), RH 90%. The PP was 10.3 (T1) and 6.1(T2), F of 45.9 (T1) and 26.2 (T2), at the end of storage AT of 0.94 (T1) and 0.56 (T2) and SST of 15.8 (T1) and 15.5 (T2). At T3 and T4, PP was 10.5 and 10.4, respectively, F was 9.6 (T3, 8 d) and 19 (T4, 10 d), AT was 0.26 (T3) and 0.27 (T4), SST was 12.2 (T3) and 11.4 (T4) at the end of storage. The fruits of T4 presented a green color with low luminosity (L: 43.9 C: 15.5 H: 105) at the end of storage. The fruits of T2 presented less loss of weight and firmness, high concentration of TSS at 4 d of storage. The coating does not affect the fruits stored in both storage conditions.</p> ER -
