Research on the effect of the ratio of beeswax, carnauba wax, and carboxymethyl cellulose on the physicochemical properties of film-forming preparation and the ability to preserve purple passion fruits

Abstract

The post-harvest passion fruit is a climacteric fruit prone to water loss, which leads to changes in its state, results in wrinkled skin, decreased sensory quality, and rapid spoilage within 5 to 7 days under environmental conditions. This research aims to investigate the effect of the ratios of the main components in the coating formulation (MW - CMC) from three materials...
