This research had the objective to formulate an edible coating, applied to strawberries (Fragaria ananassa cv. Aromas), and based on three main components: tara gum (carbohydrate), beewax (lipid) and glycerol (plasticizer); using Mix Design methodology. Coated strawberries were stored at 5 °C and 90 % relative humidity. The effectiveness of the experimental formulations (16 in total) was assessed by determining weight loss, firmness, respiration rate and luminosity of the fruit, after nine days of storage. Mathematical functions that linked each response variable with the study variables (proportions of the three principal components) were estimated; resulting in polynomials of degree two for all the answers. Cox’s direction methodology was used to determine the influence of each variable under study over each response variable. Desirability Global methodology was used to determine the optimal formulation that would minimize weight loss and respiration rate, and maximize firmness and luminosity. The optimal formulation had 0,46 % tara gum, 0,31 % beewax and 1,22 % of glycerol, and it gave a weight loss of 12,43 %, a firmness of 505, 5 gf, a respiration rate of 45,28 mgCO2∙kg-1∙h-1 and a luminosity of 30,21; being better, in constrast with uncoated strawberries.
