Flavor, Quality & StorageWhy should mango coatings be evaluated for gas movement as well as water-loss prevention?
A coating can alter oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange while reducing moisture loss. A strong moisture barrier is therefore not automatically the best overall preservation treatment; excessive restriction of oxygen can impair flavor. Compare coated fruit through ripening, including internal quality and sensory results. Choose a validated food-contact system rather than assuming that applying a thicker layer of any wax will improve its performance.
