The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of edible coating of chitosan solutions at different concentrations (0, 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2%) on the extend the overall quality stability and shelf-life of pomegranate arils during cold storage at 4 ± 1 °C for 16 days. Physicochemical, microbiological and sensory quality attributes of the arils were determined during storage. The results revealed a general trend; slightly changes were detected in total titratable acidity, pH, total anthocyanin, tota
