However, this horticulture product is perishable with high rate which reduce quantity and quality of marketable products. One of the method could be used to prevent this problem by application of edible biocoating. In this study, various concentration of ethanolic propolis extract was applied to tomatoes in order to find the effect of propolis coating in tomato preservation and best concentration for application. Tomatoes were grouped into 5 group, namely control group (no coating application), ethanol group (tomato wash with ethanol), and application group (coated with 5%, 10%, and 15% propolis). Variables observed during study were weight change, fruit firmness, total soluble solute, vitamin C, and lycopene. All tomatoes were kept in room temperature for 14 days and observation conducted every 2 days. Result showed that application of 10% propolis as biocoating reduced rate of weight loss and maintained fruit firmness while other variables relatively unaffected by propolis coating.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Biocoatings,Coating application,Control groups,Fruit firmness,Indonesia,Physical and chemical properties,Weight change,Weight loss[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.1088/1755-1315/58/1/012026[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
