<title><b>Development of an Alginate-based edible coating to extend the shelf-life of minimally processed radish</b></title>
<abstract>The present study aimed to develop and evaluate the cut vegetables based edible coatings under room and refrigerated condition and the effect of blanching on minimally processed radishes. The radishes ( lessThan i greaterThan Raphanussativus lessThan /i greaterThan ) were treated with 1%, 2%, 3% and 4% sodium alginate as an edible coating along with 2% calcium chloride was used to induce cross linking reaction with sodium alginate and 2% ascorbic acid as anti-browning agents are taken as coating material. Analytical determinations were performed in triplicate every-day for the storage period of 3 days at room temperatureand 5 days at refrigerated temperature. Minimally processed radishes were analysed for the following quality parameters like weight loss, total soluble solids, pH, ï¬rmness, titratable acidity, external color, vitamin C and microbial analysis. Alginate treatment at 3% with blanching delay changes in most of the physio-chemical parametersand sensory analysis under room and refrigeration condition.</abstract>
