Abstract

The application of polysaccharide-based coatings to prolong the shelf-life of fruits has attracted increasing attention. This study aims to develop a fruit coating comprising locust bean gum/carboxycellulose nanocrystals/ZnO (LCZ) blended with bayberry tannins (BT). The results revealed a significant increase from 4.89% and 11.04% to 29.92% and 45.01% in the free radical scavenging rates of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl and 2,2'-azino-di-[3-ethylbenzthiazthiazoline sulfonate] with the percentage of BT increasing from 0% to 5%, respectively. At a 5% of BT, the antibacterial activity against both and exceeded 90% while simultaneously achieving excellent UV shielding (transmittance of 380-200 nm ≤ 0.19%). After 3 days of storage, uncoated bananas showed signs of browning, and their titratable acid and vitamin C (Vc) contents decreased from 0.57% to 0.30% and from 7.37 mg/100 g to 4.77 mg/100 g, respectively. However, bananas coated with LCZ containing 3% BT not only exhibited a better appearance, but also possessed higher titratable acid (0.44%) and Vc content (5.31 mg/100 g). This study provides a sustainable and multifunctional coating for fruit preservation.
