Abstrakt: Utilization of bagasse as edible coating material to improve the storage of tomato fruits (Solanum lycopersicum) has been studied. Bagasse was used as the source of α-cellulose then formulated as carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) through alkalinization and carboxymethylation. Qualitative test of bagasse-based CMC was assayed using FT-IR analysis. Edible coating was prepared by formulating 0.5% (w/v), 1.0% (w/v) of CMC with distilled water, cassava starch and 10% (v/v) glycerol as a plasticizer agent. Tomato fruits were dipped into edible coating solution and kept at room temperature for 10 d. The application of 1% bagasse-based CMC gave the best results in preserving the tomato fruits with the lowest mass loss (6.42%), high vitamin C content (0.28 mg/mL), and antioxidant activity with an inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 128.91 ppm.
