ABSTRACT

Citronella (Cymbopogon nardus ) is an essential oil with antimicrobial activity applied to postharvest handling of bananas to extend shelf life. This study aims to identify the combination of citronella essential oil with chitosan as an edible coating to inhibit the decay rate of bananas. The operational conditions of edible coating chitosan and citronella oil studied five varied, namely 1) CH 1% (Chitosan 1%); 2) CH+EO 0.5% (Chitosan 1% + Essential Oil 0.5%); 3) CH+EO 1% (Chitosan 1% + Essential Oil 1%); 4) EO 0,1% (Essential oil 0,1%); and 5) CH+EO 0.04% (Chitosan 1% + Essential oil 0.04%). The results showed that the CH+EO treatment of 0.5% is the best because it can inhibit the process of ripening bananas and maintain the level of firmness and inhibit the rot of bananas, with a level of firmness of 14.25 kg/cm2 (*105 pa) followed by CH treatment of 1% in silk banana (musa, sp) 14.55 kg/cm2 (*105 pa) and lower decay rate in ch treatment 1% silk banana, EO 0.1% silk banana ) mushroom growth is effectively controlled by CH+EO 0.5% and CH 1% silk banana (musa, sp) followed by 0.1% EO in silk banana (musa, sp). This study concludes that the combination of CH 1% and EO 0.5% is the recommended treatment to increase fruit firmness and inhibit the percentage of decay to silk banana (musa, sp)and raja banana (musa, sp).
