Nanostructured coatings made with chitosan (100%Q), alginate (100%A) and blends of 50%Q-50%A; 90%Q-10%A and 90%A-10%Q, were added with (1%v/v) of nanoZnO and applied to guavas (Psidium guajava L.). After the coating application, fruits were stored for 15 days at 21 ± 1 °C and 80 ± 2% RH. To determine the effect on ripening process, fruits were submitted to water loss, texture, color, rot index, and physic-chemical assays. The results showed that coatings are able to prevent rot appearance in every sample, corroborating with the antibacterial action of nanoZnO. Coatings made with alginate and 90%A did not delay the maturation process, however, chitosan matrices (100%Q or 90%Q) protected fruits against excessive mass loss and retarded physic-chemical changes related to maturation. The experiment or study showed that it is possible to extend guava shelf life with ZnO nanostructured coatings with 100%Q or 90%Q-10%A for up to twenty days versus seven days of uncoated fruits.
用壳聚糖(100%Q)、海藻酸钠(100%A)和 50%Q-50%A、90%Q-10%A 和 90%A-10%Q 制成的纳米结构涂层;加入(1%v/v)纳米 ZnO 并应用于番石榴(Psidium guajava L.)。涂层应用后,果实于 21±1°C 和 80±2%RH 下贮藏 15 天。为了确定对成熟过程的影响,对果实的失水、质地、颜色、腐烂指数和理化指标进行了测定。结果表明,涂层能够防止每个样本的腐烂现象,这与纳米 ZnO 的抑菌作用有关。用海藻酸钠和 90%A 制成的涂层并未延迟成熟过程,但壳聚糖基质(100%Q 或 90%Q)防止了果实过度失重,并延缓了与成熟相关的理化变化。该实验或研究表明,用 100%Q 或 90%Q-10%A 的 ZnO 纳米结构涂层可以将番石榴的货架期延长至 20 天,而未涂层的果实只能延长至 7 天。
