Abstract


Produk buah potong rentan terhadap degradasi kualitas fisiologis dan kontaminasi mikrobiologis yang memperpendek umur simpan. Studi ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi efektivitas lapisan pelindung yang dapat dimakan berbasis kitosan yang dikombinasikan dengan agen antimikroba (minyak atsiri) untuk menjaga kualitas buah potong. Metode yang digunakan adalah Tinjauan Literatur Sistematis (SLR) berdasarkan pedoman PRISMA 2020 dengan menganalisis 13 artikel internasional yang diterbitkan pada tahun 2016–2025. Analisis tersebut mencakup perubahan fisikokimia, integritas membran sel, serta aktivitas enzim antioksidan selama penyimpanan. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa integrasi minyak atsiri ke dalam matriks kitosan secara efektif menekan laju respirasi dan menghambat aktivitas enzim pelunak dinding sel. Perlakuan ini telah terbukti mempertahankan kadar antioksidan dan vitamin C, serta mempertahankan integritas struktural jaringan dibandingkan dengan kontrol. Penggunaan lapisan pelindung yang dapat dimakan merupakan solusi teknologi pasca panen yang efisien untuk meningkatkan umur simpan dan daya saing produk buah potong dalam skala industri.
