Shelf-life enhancement of peeled shallots using nanosilica-loaded psyllium/moringa gum hydrocolloid
摘要
Psyllium husk gel/moringa gum coatings enhanced the shelf-life of peeled shallots Physico-chemical analysis showed synergistic effect of coating composition Optimum combination with 1% nanosilica significantly reduced weight loss upto 60 days Coating retained the colour strength, firmness, texture and antioxidant activity Coating showed no microbial proliferation or nanosilica migration into stored bulbs
