| dc.description.abstract | The amount of mango production in Indonesia is quite high, but the
quality of postharvest mangoes is still quite low. The quality of the fruit
will decline due to contamination; one of the contaminants is fungi. The
way to reduce the damage of postharvest products is by coating
applications. The purpose of this study was to study the physical,
chemical and antifungal activities of harumanis mangoes’s quality
which had been given coating during storage that could cause
postharvest losses of harumanis mangoes. There are 3 treatments, each
of them are respectively the provision of corn based coating 6%
tobacco extract, 8% tobacco extract and 10% tobacco extract. The
physical and chemical properties of the antifungal coating of tobacco
extract made from corn coating for post-harvest damage on harumanis
mangoes were obtained by weight loss, texture, colour, respiration rate,
vitamin C and total dissolved solid. Preventing coating can prevent
damage after harvest and protect the harumanis mango; therefore the
quality of the mangoes can be maintained. The best results from the
priority with the largest diameter inhibition zone were given corn starch
10% tobacco extract. Then the higher the concentration of extract used,
the greater the diameter of the inhibition zone obtained. Based on all
the tests performed (physical, chemical, and antifungal) the best
treatment from the treatment was obtained that consisted of mangoes
with antifungal layers of corn starch 10% tobacco extract. Because the
P3 obtained the best results in maintaining physical, chemical content
and fungi for 15 days. | en_US |
