Cherry tomatoes are one of horticultural comodity which have high prices. Lost of postharvest of cherry tomatoes causing a proper postharvest management. Chitosan is one of method which can be applied and have edible coating character. This study aims to determine better source and optimum concentration of chitosan to mantain quality and make longer shelf life cherry tomatoes fruit. This study held in Sub-Laboratory of Horticulture, Agriculture of Universitas Gadjah Mada on July until August 2019. This study has designed by random group complete design (RCBD) with one factore and three blocks as reiteration. Treatments tested were source and concentration of chitosan. Source of chitosan consists of crab and shrimp with five concentrations which are 1%, 1,5%, 2%, 2,5%, and 3%. Observation were made on several microclimate variables in the laboratory, several variables of fruit quality, and shelf life of cherry tomatoes. Data analyzed by analysis of variance (ANOVA) a 95% confidence level and continued with Honestly Significance Difference (HSD) test if there are significant differences between treatments. The result shows that crab and shrimp application to 3% concentration  have not positive contribution to mantain quality and make longer shelf life cherry tomatoes. Further study is needed with crab and shrimp chitosan coating with more than 3% concentrations.

Musa troglodytarum L. (‘Pisang Tongkat Langit’), a banana cultivar which originated from Eastern Indonesia, has an economic potential due to the high β-carotene content on its pulp. Being a climacteric fruit, M. troglodytarum has a short shelf-life that can reduce fruit quality. In this study, the effect of 1.25% (w/v) chitosan coating on M. troglodytarum fruit shelf-life and ACS1 and ACO1 gene expression analysis using quantitative PCR were evaluated. Results showed that the application of chitosan coating delayed the fruit ripening process for two days by delaying several fruit physical and chemical changes. ACS1 and ACO1 gene expression analysis showed a different expression pattern, the expression level was lower on chitosan-coated fruits on the first day compared to control. In conclusion, chitosan-based edible coating delayed M. troglodytarum fruit ripening and changed the ACS1 and ACO1 gene expression pattern, compared with the chitosan coating effect on Cavendish banana which also prolonged fruit ripening and suppressed ACS1 and ACO1 expression in a previous research.

Cherry tomatoes are climacteric fruits that have a limited shelf life. Over the years, many methods have been applied to preserve the fruit quality and safety of these fruits. In this study, a novel method of combining mucilage from dragon fruits and UV-C irradiation was carried out. Cherry tomatoes were subjected to UV-C irradiation and edible coating, both as a stand-alone and hurdle treatment. The edible coating was prepared from the mucilage of white dragon fruits. Quality parameters including color, weight loss, total soluble solids, titratable acidity, ascorbic acid, antioxidant analysis (total phenolic content and flavonoid content), and microbial analysis were measured throughout 21 days of storage at 4 °C. Results showed that the hurdle treatment extended shelf life by 21 days, reduced weight loss (0.87 ± 0.05%) and color changes (11.61 ± 0.95 ΔE), and inhibited microbes better than stand-alone treatments. Furthermore, fruits treated with the combination of UV-C and edible coating also contained higher total polyphenol content (0.132 ± 0.003 mg GAE/100 mL), total flavonoid content (13.179 ± 0.002 mg CE/100 mL), and ascorbic acid (1.07 ± 0.06 mg/100 mL). These results show that the combination of UV-C and edible coating as a hurdle treatment could be an innovative method to preserve shelf life and quality of fruits.
