Abstract

, with the inhibition zone diameter increasing by 26.66-35.84% compared to the control film. Experimental storage of fresh plums showed that the CH-GO film helped maintain fruit freshness and gloss, preventing spoilage for up to 10 days. Additionally, after 10 days, the film reduced weight loss (by 21.60-72.53% compared to the pure chitosan film group and 16.10-42.63% compared to the control group), slowed color changes, stabilized pH, maintained soluble solid content (reducing the loss by up to 10.54% compared to the control group), and preserved total acidity throughout the storage period. Based on these findings, CH-GO composite films can be considered a promising packaging material for the preservation of fresh produce.
