The post-harvest quality of perishable produce changes rapidly due to the accelerated rate of respiration, transpiration and ripening. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of pectin and alginate based composite coatings on the shelf life extension of cherry tomatoes and to study the effect of an abiotic stress on enhancing antioxidant properties of cranberries. Two composite coating formulations were evaluated, a pectin based formulation with 3% pectin, 1.35% sorbitol, 1.2% bees wax and 0.36% monoglycerides, and an alginate based formulation with 2% alginate, 1.35% sorbitol, 1.2% bees wax and 0.36% monoglycerides. Whole cherry tomatoes were coated with one of the composite coatings and air dried at room temperature for a ...
