*2.15. Statistical Analysis*

A statistical analysis system (Analysis ToolPak in Excel) was used to conduct one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) at 95% level of confidence and 5% level of significance. The significance level used was (*p* < 0.05). Tukey's method was used to indicate the significant difference between the control and coated samples during storage as well as between the different storage times for both the control and coated. The effect of the edible coating on pH, moisture loss, respiration, TSS, titratable acidity, firmness, color, and microbiological count on strawberry cut fruits was evaluated [7,8].
