Discussion

This analysis evaluates chitosan edible coatings using dip and spray methods, showing spray application better maintains banana quality.

Spray-coated Cavendish bananas lost only 14.51% weight and had the lowest disease severity score of 3.33.
Bananas coated by spraying showed superior quality metrics including firmness and lowest starch degradation compared to dipping.
Dipping resulted in a higher total soluble solids value and more disease severity compared to spray-coated bananas.
The findings emphasize the effectiveness of spray application of chitosan for extending shelf life in commercial practices.

Ulya et al. (2025) studied this question.
