Shelf-life extension of pomegranate arils using banana powder-based nanocomposite coatings functionalized with cellulose nanofiber and zinc-oxide nanoparticles
This study explored a novel nanocomposite comprising banana powder (BP), cellulose nanofiber (CNF), and 0.6% zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs). The treatment involved immersing arils in the respective nanocomposite coatings for 4 min, followed by air-drying at room temperature (25°C) and subsequent...

| description | This study explored a novel nanocomposite comprising banana powder (BP), cellulose nanofiber (CNF), and 0.6% zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs). The treatment involved immersing arils in the respective nanocomposite coatings for 4 min, followed by air-drying at room temperature (25°C) and subsequent storage in polyethylene terephthalate punnets at 4°C and 85% relative humidity for 21 d. Results demonstrated that the nanocomposites significantly (p < .05) reduced total plate and yeast counts, delayed colour and texture degradation, and decreased weight loss and respiration rates while maintaining levels of total soluble solids and titratable acidity compared to the control (water) and standard BP/CNF treatment. The BP/CNF/ZnO-PPW was more effective as it displayed a lower respiration rate (50 mL CO2 kg−1 h −1), weight loss (0.4%), and maintained higher firmness (12.4 N) compared to the control treatment. Overall, the nanocomposite treatments with ZnO NPs resulted in a 6-day shelf-life extension, offering a promising solution through nanotechnology applications. |
