New edible coatings composed of galactomannans and collagen blends to improve the postharvest quality of fruits: influence on fruits gas transfer rate

The objective of this work was to produce new edible coatings, based on a mixture of galactomannans from novel sources (seeds of Adenanthera pavonina and Caesalpinia pulcherrima), collagen and glycerol, and to determine their influence in gas transfer rates when they are applied on mangoes and apple...
