Abstract:

The objective was to comprehensively evaluate the edible coating of thymol microcapsules/ konjac glucomannan/low acyl gellan gum(TKL)on preservation of blueberry fruit. The‘Bluegold’ blueberry cultivar was used as experimental material. The efficacy of TKL preharvest coating on blueberry quality was comprehensively evaluated by entropy weigtht method(EWM),entropy-technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution(Entropy-TOPSIS)and cluster analysis from the parameters of texture,color,malondialdehyde,sugar and acid and total phenols. The experimental results showed that the TKL coating treatment slowed down the decrease of sensory,hardness,L*b*,fruit shape index,chewiness and springing,decreased the increase of water weight loss,decay index,MDA,reducing sugar,and suppressed the changes of titratable acid,total sugar,a*C*. The Entropy-TOPSIS model demonstrated that the comprehensive quality was more consistent with the sensory quality analysis after different coating treatments. Cluster analysis revealed that the blueberry quality of the TKL coating treatment at 14-42 d was clustered in the same category as the control at 7-21 d. The TKL coating treatment extended the shelf life of blueberries from 28 d to 42 d.

Key words: blueberry, postharvest, thymol, edible coating, Entropy-TOPSIS, comprehensive evaluation
