520 _aThe study aims to develop an edible coating solution from dragon fruit peel, which can extend the shelf life of mango commodities. The research involved various formulations and processes, and the results showed that the edible coating solution extended mango's shelf life. The peel and pectin's moisture analysis are <10. FTIR analysis confirmed its presence of pectin while pectin identification was done in pure dragon fruit peel which amounted 11.68%. The product's pH range was found to be appropriate for a coating solution (2.54-2.56), and the coating adhered to the mango peel through microscope observation. The product also showed promising results in terms of titratable acidity, soluble solids, color, and texture. Qualitative evaluation showed that government regulations and widespread knowledge of the innovation took time. For QDA the evaluation showed that mango coated (day 4 and day 8) was significantly different from uncoated (day 4) mango. Overall, the study validates the safety, quality, and potential of the edible coating solution for post-harvest issues.
