export demand, it because the duku of the "shelf life" duku
relatively short. So the fruit is blackened and rotten. Therefore it is
necessary for fruit preservation methods, which is known as an edible coating.
This method use shrimp shell waste as a raw material of chitosan and further
synthesized into a coating on the skin of duku.
This
study, known waste shrimp shells can be made of chitosan and used as leather
upholstery fruit or edible coating for duku in order to have a "shelf
