The Effect of the Application of Edible Coatings on or before Ultraviolet Treatment on Postharvested Longan Fruits

Table 1

The effect of different UV-C and edible coating combinations on weight loss in longan fruits.

Treatment	Weight loss (%)
	Day 0	Day 3	Day 5	Day 7
CAR + UV	n.d.	2.42 ± 0.09	4.71 ± 0.35	8.23 ± 0.39
CHI + UV	n.d.	2.01 ± 0.30	4.05 ± 0.26	7.28 ± 0.49
UV + CAR	n.d.	2.33 ± 0.42	4.62 ± 0.74	8.68 ± 0.77
UV + CHI	n.d.	1.89 ± 0.35	4.03 ± 0.70	7.34 ± 0.46

Different lowercase letter indicates significant difference at in each storage day; different uppercase letter indicates significant difference at in each treatment; n.d.: not detected; CAR + UV: carrageenan plus ultraviolet treatment; CHI + UV: chitosan plus ultraviolet treatment; UV + CAR: ultraviolet treatment plus carrageenan coating; UV + CHI: ultraviolet treatment plus chitosan coating.
