Résumé
The Mexican lime (Citrus aurantifolia cv.), widely consumed in Iran and globally, is known for its high perishability. Edible coatings have emerged as a popular method to extend the shelf life of fruits, with xanthan gum-based coatings being particularly favored for their environmental benefits. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an edible coating formulated from xanthan gum, enriched with Spirulina platensis (Sp) and pomegranate seed oil (PSO), in improving the quality and reducing the weight loss of Mexican lime fruit under conditions of 20 ± 2 °C and 50-60% relative humidity. Based on the results, the application of coatings was generally effective in reducing fruit weight loss, with the least weight loss observed in the xanthan gum 0.2%+ Spirulina platensis extract (1%) treatment. Additionally, the levels of total phenols and flavonoids in the treated fruits exceeded those in the control group, with xanthan gum 0.2%+ Spirulina platensis extract (1%) and xanthan gum 0.2% exhibiting the highest concentrations of these compounds. The antioxidant capacity of the fruits was also enhanced by the coatings, surpassing that of the control group, with xanthan gum 0.2%+ Spirulina platensis extract (1%) achieving the highest levels. The treatments significantly suppressed the activity of the polyphenol oxidase (PPO) enzyme, with xanthan gum 0.2% demonstrating the most potent inhibitory effect. Furthermore, the treatments resulted in increased activities of catalase (CAT) and peroxidase (POD) enzymes compared to the control. Except for xanthan gum 0.2%+ pomegranate seed oil (0.05%), all treatments maintained the fruit's greenness (a*) more effectively than the control. Peel browning is a major factor contributing to the decline in quality and shelf life of lime fruit. The application of 0.1% and 0.2% xanthan gum coatings, as well as a combination of 0.2% xanthan gum and Spirulina platensis extract, significantly inhibited PPO activity and enhanced the activity of CAT and POD and phenolic compound in Mexican lime fruits stored at of 20 ± 2 °C for 24 days. Consequently, these treatments comprehensively preserved lime fruit quality by significantly reducing browning, maintaining green color, and preserving internal quality parameters such as TA, thereby enhancing both visual appeal and overall fruit quality.

BACKGROUND
BACKGROUND
The Mexican lime (Citrus aurantifolia cv.), widely consumed in Iran and globally, is known for its high perishability. Edible coatings have emerged as a popular method to extend the shelf life of fruits, with xanthan gum-based coatings being particularly favored for their environmental benefits. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an edible coating formulated from xanthan gum, enriched with Spirulina platensis (Sp) and pomegranate seed oil (PSO), in improving the quality and reducing the weight loss of Mexican lime fruit under conditions of 20 ± 2 °C and 50-60% relative humidity.
RESULTS
RESULTS
Based on the results, the application of coatings was generally effective in reducing fruit weight loss, with the least weight loss observed in the xanthan gum 0.2%+ Spirulina platensis extract (1%) treatment. Additionally, the levels of total phenols and flavonoids in the treated fruits exceeded those in the control group, with xanthan gum 0.2%+ Spirulina platensis extract (1%) and xanthan gum 0.2% exhibiting the highest concentrations of these compounds. The antioxidant capacity of the fruits was also enhanced by the coatings, surpassing that of the control group, with xanthan gum 0.2%+ Spirulina platensis extract (1%) achieving the highest levels. The treatments significantly suppressed the activity of the polyphenol oxidase (PPO) enzyme, with xanthan gum 0.2% demonstrating the most potent inhibitory effect. Furthermore, the treatments resulted in increased activities of catalase (CAT) and peroxidase (POD) enzymes compared to the control. Except for xanthan gum 0.2%+ pomegranate seed oil (0.05%), all treatments maintained the fruit's greenness (a*) more effectively than the control.
CONCLUSIONS
CONCLUSIONS
Peel browning is a major factor contributing to the decline in quality and shelf life of lime fruit. The application of 0.1% and 0.2% xanthan gum coatings, as well as a combination of 0.2% xanthan gum and Spirulina platensis extract, significantly inhibited PPO activity and enhanced the activity of CAT and POD and phenolic compound in Mexican lime fruits stored at of 20 ± 2 °C for 24 days. Consequently, these treatments comprehensively preserved lime fruit quality by significantly reducing browning, maintaining green color, and preserving internal quality parameters such as TA, thereby enhancing both visual appeal and overall fruit quality.
