The polysaccharide based composite biomaterial (coating) used in preserving fruits and vegetables during storage is attracting increased attention as it is biodegradable material that prolongs shelf life. In the present investigation, chitosan–pullulan (50:50) composite edible coating was prepared with pomegranate peel extract (0.02 g/mL) as an active antioxidant agent. The effect of treatment with pomegranate peel extract enriched chitosan–pullulan composite edible coating on the shelf life of mango fruits during 18 days of storage period at room (23 °C) and cold (4 °C) temperature was evaluated. Results of the present study demonstrated that the application of chitosan–pullulan composite edible coating significantly (p ≤  0.05) influences the storage life of mango fruits at both storage temperatures. The chitosan–pullulan composite edible coating reduced the physiological loss in weight (PLW), and maintained total soluble solids (TSS), acidity and pH of coated mango fruits as compared to the control. In addition, fruit sensory quality such as freshness, color, taste and texture were also retained by the treatment. Furthermore, sustained firmness, phenolic content and antioxidant activity confirmed the effectiveness of the pomegranate peel extract enriched chitosan–pullulan composite edible coating on mango fruits. The phenolic, flavonoid and antioxidant activity of coated fruits were retained by pomegranate peel rich edible coating. Therefore, the chitosan–pullulan (50:50) combination with pomegranate peel extract can be used as an alternative preservation method to prolong the shelf life of mango fruits at room and cold storage conditions. However, more in-depth studies are required at farm and transit level without affecting the postharvest quality of mango fruits, providing more revenue for farmers and minimizing postharvest losses.

Mango is a crop of economic importance for its high export potentiality and usage as fresh and processed products of many kinds. However, increase its shelf life with maintaining postharvest quality and acceptability for long period is prime concerned since mango is a climacteric crop and cannot store for more than 5-7 days after ripening at ambient condition. Low temperature storage along with controlled atmospheric condition is being practised to keep fruits fresh. Controlled atmospheric storage reduces physiological processes, delayed ripening, but, can cause off flavour, internal tissue degradation, poor colouration and other physiological disorders. With the growing consciousness on bad effect of various chemical techniques and environmental hazards emphasizes a need to develop consumer friendly and environment friendly technology to increase shelf life of mango fruits with maintaining its quality and general acceptability. Use of edible coating is now becoming popular because it is a hazard free and environment friendly approach. It has tremendous potentiality to prolong shelf life of mango as whole fruit or fresh cut pieces. Generally, Aloe vera based edible coatings with chitosan have been studied for mango. The present review organised the various study exhaustively on different aspect of postharvest physiology of mango with use of edible coating which shall benefit the researchers for future study.
