Abstract

The need of consumer for safe food has influenced the industry to develop the products they produce. Various methods have been used by the industry in these improvements, starting from selecting materials, modifying processes, adding a process, to packaging. Packaging can affect product quality including product shelf life. One of the packaging that has been developed is edible coating. This study aims to determine the effect of edible coating from Siam Sambas citrus waste (Citrus nobilis Var.Microcarpa) on fruit shelf life in terms of weight loss and fruit color changes. Edible coatings in this study were treated with a ratio of glycerol concentrations of 10 ml (ECg 10), 15 ml (ECg 15), and 20 ml (ECg 20). This study uses experimental methods using quantitative and qualitative approaches. The results showed that the best estimation of the shelf life of tomatoes was stage-5 (fresh) with ECg 10 and ECg 15 treatments which showed the appearance of tomatoes that still looked fresh at 21 days of storage. The best color change in ECg 10 and ECg 15 treatments at maturity stage-5 (red). The results of weight loss showed stage-3 (4.1617 %) the best maturity level of tomatoes, with ECg 10 (1.5152 %) treatment. The results of this study revealed that the best edible coating is ECg 10 because it can slow down weight loss, the color degradation of tomatoes is slower and the shelf life of tomatoes is longer.
