Abstract
As an edible coating, carnauba shellac wax (CSW) and lemongrass oil (LO) solution was prepared to extend the shelf life of 'Hongro' apples. During storage, there were significant differences in the populations of total aerobic bacteria, yeast, and molds between the coated apples and the control samples. The weight loss and vitamin C loss of apples coated with the CSW-LO solution were lower than those of the control. These results suggest that CSW-LO coating can be an effective method for improving quality of 'Hongro' apples.
