On the correlation between physicochemical properties of agar and its performance as edible coating and film to enhance shelf-life of fresh fruit

Agar is a biopolymer extensively used as gel and stabilizer. Depending on red seaweeds and agar extraction protocols, different physicochemical properties are attained. This research aimed at a better understanding the agar’s physicochemical properties effect on agar coatings performance to improve...
