Alginate Coatings Preserve Fruit Quality and Bioactive Compounds during Storage of Sweet Cherry Fruit (2012, methodology): “2a), in agreement with previous reports in peaches coated with chitosan, methylcellulose or alginate (Li and Yu 2001; Maftoonazad et al. 2008).”
Chitosan as a potential natural compound to control pre and postharvest diseases of horticultural commodities (2006, background): “…fruit such as strawberries, raspberries, tomatoes, peaches, papayas and others was delayed during the storage period and various reports indicate that the treated fruit was firmer at the end of storage (El Ghaouth et al., 1991b, 1992b, e; Li and Yu, 2000; Bautista-Baños et al., 2003).”
Effects of chitosan and plant extracts on growth of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, anthracnose levels and quality of papaya fruit (2003, unknown): “In postharvest studies, chitosan has been reported to maintain the quality of fruits and vegetables, reducing respiration rates, ethylene production, and transpiration (El Ghaouth et al., 1992a, b; Li and Yu, 2000).”
A Biopolymer Chitosan and Its Derivatives as Promising Antimicrobial Agents against Plant Pathogens and Their Applications in Crop Protection (2011, background): “Li and Yu [331] reported that chitosan significantly delayed the postharvest development of brown rot disease caused by Monilinia fructicola on peach fruit.”
