Effectiveness of different concentrations of aloe vera gel coating in enhancing the shelf life of local fruits / Nuratiqah Aziemah Razali

This experiment focuses on the effects of different concentrations of Aloe Vera gel coating on the storage behaviour of banana and star fruit at the room temperature of 25°C (±5°C). Both chemical and physical characteristics of the fruits were tested. The physical characteristics tested were Physiol...
