Study of application of composite coating of Guar gum-garlic oil on grapes
Study of application of composite coating of Guar gum-garlic oil on grapes
Prevailing high temperature during harvesting to consumption of grapes in India results in accelerated water loss, faster respiration, physiological weight loss, rachis browning, berry shattering, poor shelf life and finally leads to significant post-harvest losses. Fruit surface is protected by the application of coating to maintain its freshness and shelf life for longer duration. Present experiment was designed to determine the effectiveness of guar gum (GG)/Garlic Oil (GO) composite coatings
