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

Table 2

The effect of different UV-C and edible coating combinations on respiration rate of longan fruits.

Treatment	Respiration rate (ml CO2/kgh)
	Day 0	Day 3	Day 5	Day 7
CAR + UV	35.10 ± 1.47	20.08 ± 0.99	33.95 ± 3.73	55.83 ± 4.03
CHI + UV	35.65 ± 0.77	20.78 ± 2.94	30.83 ± 6.08	52.79 ± 6.05
UV + CAR	33.60 ± 2.53	23.39 ± 2.76	41.65 ± 7.59	61.90 ± 1.50
UV + CHI	33.32 ± 2.67	21.51 ± 1.33	30.81 ± 5.50	51.52 ± 5.89

Different lowercase letter indicates significant difference at in each storage day; different uppercase letter indicates significant difference at in each treatment; 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.
