streszczenie Minimally processed fruits and vegetables caused the emergence of a new plant processing industry in the world. The physiological and physical changes in cucumber were studied after treating with edible films coating and ozone water. The study showed that the concentration of 4.2 mg m-3 ozone and the C treatment (polyvinyl alcohol 134 (1%); chitosan (1%); lithium chloride (0.5%); glacial acetic acid (2.5%); sodium benzoate (0.05%)) with a combined coating inhibits respiration and chlorophyll break-down. Furthermore, it can also lower the soluble solids content and inhibit the polyphenol oxidases (PPO) activity.
