Abstract

BACKGROUND: Strawberries are highly perishable fruits characterized by rapid postharvest deterioration, leading to significant quality losses and reduced marketability. In this study, a bilayer edible coating based on carboxymethylcellulose and sodium alginate was evaluated for its ability to preserve strawberry quality during cold storage. METHODS: An integrated analytical approach combining phy…
