The use of nanocellulose in coatings for preserving perishable fruits and vegetables is increasing because it can maintain the shelf-life by delaying ripening and quality deterioration. In this research, lignin-containing nanocellulose (LCNC) was extracted from sugarcane bagasse through steam explosion followed by acid hydrolysis. The LCNC suspension with varying concentrations (0.3 %, 0.6 %, and 1.0 % w/v) in water was utilized as bio-based coating on mango to extend the shelf life. The physical and chemical changes of mangoes every 5 days were determined and compared with cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) coating (without lignin). The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis revealed LCNC has smaller size with average length of 127.13 ± 26.21 nm and a diameter of 4.36 ± 0.96 nm compared to the CNC. The LCNC offered antioxidant activiity and UV-shielding properties. The mangoes treated with CNC showed changes in color after coating and the highest reduction of ripening during storage. At 1.0 % w/v, LCNC could delay the fruit ripening for at least 10 days compared to mangoes without coating. It also showed a higher preservation of peel color, titrate acidity, and firmness of the mangoes than the CNC coated. The findings suggested that LCNC could be a promising bio-based nanocoating for mangoes to delay their ripening and deterioration.

含木质素纳米纤维素的分离和利用作为生物基涂层来保存易腐烂的水果
纳米纤维素在保存易腐烂水果和蔬菜的涂层中的使用越来越多,因为它可以通过延迟成熟和品质恶化来维持保质期。在这项研究中,通过蒸汽爆破和酸水解从甘蔗渣中提取含木质素的纳米纤维素(LCNC)。将不同浓度(0.3%、0.6% 和 1.0% w/v)的 LCNC 悬浮液用作芒果上的生物基涂层,以延长保质期。每 5 天测定芒果的物理和化学变化,并与纤维素纳米晶体 (CNC) 涂层(不含木质素)进行比较。透射电子显微镜(TEM)分析显示,与CNC相比,LCNC尺寸更小,平均长度为127.13±26.21 nm,直径为4.36±0.96 nm。 LCNC 具有抗氧化活性和紫外线屏蔽特性。经过 CNC 处理的芒果在涂层后颜色发生变化,并且在储存过程中成熟程度最大程度降低。与没有涂层的芒果相比,1.0% w/v 的 LCNC 可以延迟果实成熟至少 10 天。与 CNC 涂层相比,它还可以更好地保留芒果的果皮颜色、滴定酸度和硬度。研究结果表明,LCNC 可能是一种很有前途的芒果生物基纳米涂层,可以延缓其成熟和变质。
