ABSTRACT

Minimally processed strawberries have high acceptability but a short shelf life. The application of edible coatings with essential oils may be an alternative to preserve these fruits. Our objective was to develop, apply and characterize the effect of bioactive edible coatings based on agar or sodium alginate with thyme and/or sweet orange essential oils with antimicrobial properties, mainly against Listeria monocytogenes, for strawberries. The effect of the coatings on the physicochemical, microbiological, and sensory properties that determine the shelf life of strawberries was verified at 1, 8, and 15 days. The effect against Listeria monocytogenes bacteria in strawberries artificially contaminated with this microorganism was also evaluated. Thyme and sweet orange essential oils had thymol and D-limonene, respectively, as main components. Alginate coating with sweet orange and thyme essential oil showed the best results. For Listeria monocytogenes, the coating applied after fruit contamination had an antimicrobial effect.


Las fresas mínimamente procesadas tienen una alta aceptación, pero una vida útil corta. La aplicación de recubrimientos comestibles con aceites esenciales puede ser una alternativa para conservar estos frutos. El objetivo fue desarrollar, aplicar y caracterizar el efecto del uso de recubrimientos comestibles bioactivos, a base de agar agar o alginato de sodio, adicionados con aceites esenciales de tomillo y/o naranja dulce, con propiedades antimicrobianas, principalmente anti-Listeria monocytogenes sobre la fresa. Se verificó el efecto de los recubrimientos sobre las características fisicoquímicas, microbiológicas y sensoriales que determinan la vida útil de las fresas a 1, 8 y 15 días. También se evaluó el efecto contra la bacteria Listeria monocytogenes en fresas contaminadas artificialmente con este microorganismo. Los aceites esenciales de tomillo y naranja dulce presentaron timol y D-limoneno como compuestos mayoritarios, respectivamente. El recubrimiento de alginato con aceite esencial de naranja dulce y tomillo mostró los mejores resultados. Para Listeria monocytogenes, el recubrimiento aplicado después de la contaminación de la fruta tuvo un efecto antimicrobiano.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Las fresas son frutas altamente perecederas, susceptibles a daño mecánico, deterioro y desórdenes fisiológicos durante su almacenamiento. La aplicación de recubrimientos, se presenta como una alternativa promisoria de tratamiento poscosecha, que permite mantener la calidad de las fresas. El objetivo de esta investigación fue estudiar el efecto de recubrimientos comestibles de sábila (A. vera) y alginato de sodio sobre parámetros de calidad de fresas, durante el almacenamiento refrigerado. Se evaluaron mezclas de recubrimientos comestibles de alginato de sodio y A. vera (100:0, 75:25, 50:50 y 25:75) sobre la pérdida de peso, color, firmeza, pH y acidez titulable de fresas, durante almacenamiento refrigerado (0, 3 ,9 y 12 días). Adicionalmente, se determinó el espesor y la opacidad de las películas obtenidas a partir de las soluciones formadoras de recubrimientos, utilizando el método de "casting". Los resultados mostraron que la combinación de A. vera y alginato de sodio tiene un efecto significativo en la reducción de pérdida de calidad de fresa, durante el almacenamiento en refrigeración. Todos los tratamientos con recubrimientos comestibles presentaron, al final del almacenamiento, menor pérdida de peso (7-16%), mayor firmeza (entre 1,3 a 2,1 veces más), mayor retención del color y mayor acidez titulable que las muestras sin recubrimiento (control). El espesor de las películas disminuyó con el incremento de la adición de Aloe vera y la opacidad disminuyó significativamente con la adición de la sábila en 25% y 50% en las mezclas con alginato de sodio.


ABSTRACT Strawberries are highly perishable fruits, being susceptible to mechanical injury, decay and physiological disorders during storage. Applications of edible coatings have been shown to be promising as a tool to improve the quality and extend storage. The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of Aloe vera and sodium alginate as an edible coating in postharvest quality of cold storage strawberries. The composition of edible coatings of sodium alginate and A. vera (100: 0, 75:25, 50:50 and 25:75) was studied on weight loss, color, firmness, pH and titrable acidity of strawberries during refrigerated storage (0, 3, 9 and 12 days). The thickness and opacity of the films were also determined, from the coating forming solutions using the casting method. The short shelf life and the high deterioration of the quality characteristics of strawberries during postharvest, justify to investigate alternative conservation techniques such as edible coatings, in order to reduce food loss and improve consumer acceptance The results showed that the combination of Aloe vera and sodium alginate has a significant effect in the reduction of the loss of the quality of the fruit during refrigerated storage. All coating treatments showed at the end of storage less weigth loss (7-16%), greater firmness, (between 1,3 to 2,1 more times) more color retention and greater titrable acidity tan uncoated samples (Control). The addition of Aloe vera decreased the thickness of the films and the opacity decreased significantly with the addition of Aloe vera in 25 and 50% in the mixtures with sodium Alginate.

ABSTRACT

A embalagem do alimento têm por funções conter, proteger, comunicar e conferir conveniência, nas etapas de armazenamento e distribuição. É também veículo de informação, apresentando instruções de manuseio, composição nutricional e rotulagem. Com o desenvolvimento da tecnologia, surgem novas forma de apresentação e embalagem de alimentos, visando aumento na vida de prateleira e maior praticidade. Nesse contexto o trabalho trata de uma pesquisa documental indireta por meio de fontes bibliográficas e documentos, para delinear as principais tendências e inovações em embalagens de alimentos. Há interesse e investimentos em embalagens "ativas" e "inteligentes" as quais interagem diretamente com o produto, e também os revestimentos comestíveis, com enfoque na biodegradabilidade.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Objetivou-se avaliar a eficiência de recobrimentos à base de carboximetilcelulose (CMC) e dextrina em manga 'Tommy Atkins' armazenada durante zero, dez e 20 dias sob refrigeração (12,4±3,1°C e 72±12 por cento UR) e, posteriormente, submetida às condições de ambiente (20,3±3,0°C e 40±7 por cento UR) por três, seis, oito e nove dias. Os recobrimentos CMC 1,0 por cento + dextrina 0,2 por cento, CMC 0,8 por cento + dextrina 0,5 por cento e CMC 0,5 por cento+dextrina 1,0 por cento foram comparados ao controle. O delineamento experimental foi inteiramente casualizado, em fatorial 4x7 (recobrimento x tempo de armazenamento), com quatro repetições compostas por três frutos. A aplicação de CMC 1,0 por cento + dextrina 0,2 por cento ou CMC 0,8 por cento + dextrina 0,5 por cento retardou o acúmulo de sólidos solúveis, a redução da acidez titulável e a evolução da cor da casca, com incremento no brilho superficial dos frutos, o que garantiu melhor aparência. Os efeitos indicam atraso da maturação, sendo mais evidentes no tratamento CMC 0,8 por cento + dextrina 0,5 por cento.


It was aimed to evaluate the efficiency of coatings based on carboximethyl cellulose (CMC) and dextrin applied in 'Tommy Atkins' mango fruit stored for zero, ten and 20 days under refrigeration (12.4±3.1°C and 72±12 percent RH) and, after this period, submitted to ambient conditions (20.3±3.0°C and 40±7 percent RH) for three, six, eight and nine days. The CMC 1.0 percent + dextrin 0.2 percent, CMC 0.8 percent + dextrin 0.5 percent and CMC 0.5 percent + dextrin 1.0 percent coatings were compared to the control. The experimental design was completely randomized in factorial 4x7 (coating x storage time), with four replicates constituted by three fruits. The application of CMC 1.0 percent + dextrin 0.2 percent or CMC 0.8 percent + dextrin 0.5 percent delayed the soluble solids accumulation, the titratable acidity reduction and the skin color evolution, increasing fruit brightness that ensured a better appearance. The responses indicate a delay on maturation that was more evident on CMC 0.8 percent + dextrin 0.5 percent treatment.
