Abstract
Horticultural products tend to deteriorate during postharvest storage and processing. In this study, cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) were prepared from wood to investigate the effects of CNF treatment on the storage quality, aroma composition, and antioxidant system of fresh-cut apple (Malus domestica) wedges. Compared with control treatment, CNF coating treatment significantly improved the appearance of apple wedges; reduced the decay rate of apple wedges; and delayed the decline in weight loss, firmness, and titratable acid during storage. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry showed that CNF treatment could maintain the aroma components of apple wedges (stored for 4 days). Further investigations showed that CNF treatment increased the antioxidant system level and decreased reactive oxygen species content and membrane lipid peroxidation level of apple wedges. Overall, this study showed that CNF coating could effectively maintain the quality of fresh-cut apples during cold storage.

Preparation and Characterization of Novel Chitosan Coatings to Reduce Changes in Quality Attributes and Physiochemical and Water Characteristics of Mongolian Cheese during Cold Storage. Foods 2023; 12:2731. [PMID: 37509823 PMCID: PMC10379865 DOI: 10.3390/foods12142731] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/04/2023] [Revised: 06/23/2023] [Accepted: 06/30/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023] Open
Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of O-carboxymethyl chitosan coating on microbiological, physiochemical, and water characteristics of Mongolian cheese during refrigerated storage. O-carboxymethyl chitosan coatings, particularly at 1.5%, improved cheese preservation by significantly inhibiting microbial growth, reducing changes in protein and non-protein nitrogen, and preserving pH and titratable acidity. For texture profile analysis (TPA), the hardness, gumminess, and chewiness in O-CMC treatments were significantly more stable than those in the control during storage. In addition, the relaxation component and image of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) were used to analyze the internal water mobility of the cheese during storage. Compared with other treatments, the 1.5% O-carboxymethyl chitosan coating had the best overall preserving effect during storage. O-carboxymethyl chitosan coating could be used in cheese preservation applications and could extend the shelf life of Mongolian cheese. The cheese coated with 1.5% O-carboxymethyl chitosan coating ranked the highest in acceptability at the end of the storage period.
