Abstract: Tomat (Solanum lycopersicumL.) merupakan salah satu komoditas hortikultura bernilai ekonomi tinggi, namun memiliki tingkat kehilangan hasil yang cukup besar akibat sifatnya yang mudah rusak setelah panen. Salah satu teknologi yang dapat digunakan untuk mengurangi kerusakan dan memperpanjang daya simpan adalah penerapan edible coating berbahan alami. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi pengaruh beberapa jenis edible coating, yaitu Chitasil (kitosan), gel lidah buaya, dan pati singkong, terhadap mutu dan umur simpan tomat selama penyimpanan. Penelitian dilakukan menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) non-faktorial dengan empat perlakuan, yaitu tanpa coating (P0), Chitasil (P1), lidah buaya (P2), dan pati singkong (P3). Parameter yang diamati meliputi susut bobot, perubahan warna, umur simpan, bentuk dan tekstur buah, serta kadar vitamin C. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemberian edible coating berpengaruh nyata terhadap kualitas tomat selama penyimpanan. Perlakuan P3 (pati singkong) memberikan hasil terbaik dengan susut bobot terendah (5,63%), proses pematangan yang lebih lambat, serta umur simpan yang lebih panjang hingga 10 hari dibandingkan dengan perlakuan lainnya. Dengan demikian, edible coating berbasis pati singkong efektif dalam mempertahankan kualitas dan memperpanjang daya simpan tomat, serta berpotensi untuk diterapkan pada komoditas hortikultura lainnya. Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is a horticultural commodity with high economic value but experiences considerable postharvest losses due to its perishable nature. One promising technology to reduce deterioration and extend shelf life is the application of natural-based edible coatings. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of several types of edible coatings, namely Chitasil (chitosan), aloe vera gel, and cassava starch, on the quality and shelf life of tomatoes during storage. The research employed a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four treatments: without coating (P0), Chitasil (P1), aloe vera (P2), and cassava starch (P3). The observed parameters included weight loss, color changes, shelf life, fruit shape and texture, and vitamin C content. The results revealed that the application of edible coatings significantly affected tomato quality during storage. The P3 treatment (cassava starch) provided the best results, showing the lowest weight loss (5.63%), slower ripening, and a longer shelf life of up to 10 days compared to other treatments. Therefore, cassava starch-based edible coating is effective in maintaining the quality and extending the shelf life of tomatoes, and it also shows potential for application to other horticultural commodities.
