Effect of coating to prolong the shelf life of soybean seed during storage
Journal: AIP conference proceedings
Year: 2024

The quality of the seeds dramatically affects the yield harvested. Soybean seeds quickly regress in storage due to their high fat and protein content. One technique needed to extend seeds' shelf life is coating technology with various coating formulas. Chitosan and beeswax are biopolymers that are widely used in coating formulas. Utilization of chitosan and beeswax in soybean seeds is still limited. The study aimed to determine changes in the physical and chemical characteristics of soybean seed
