Abstract

In this study, biofilms based on Chayotextle (Sechium edule Sw) starch with extract and microcapsules of Jamaican calice (Hibiscus sabdariffa) extract were used as a coating on strawberries to prolong their shelf life. A coverage with chayote starch (CCS), a coverage with 1.5 mL of extract (CE) and a coverage with 2.5 g of microcapsules (CM) were obtained. The C-2.5 showed a lower weight loss in the strawberry with respect to the storage time (14 days), a similar behaviour of greater hardness was observed in the strawberry with the same coverage. The Brix levels and the acidity of the strawberries were better controlled in the strawberries with a cover than in the control strawberries (without a cover). These results indicate that biodegradable coatings added with extract and microencapsulation of the jamaica flower extract delay strawberry ripening and could be used as an alternative for food preservation.
