Following the harvest of Citrus species, it is seen that not all of these products can be promptly delivered to the end consumer simultaneously. Due to this rationale, certain specimens are conserved in accordance with designated storage parameters. Throughout the duration of storage, lemons undergo further ripening. Consequently, a portion of the aforementioned goods undergoes decomposition within storage facilities, rendering them unfit for consumption. Hence, the objective of our study is to decelerate the respiration rate of citrus species, mitigate spoilage, and extend their storage duration constitute the basis of various studies. In order to achieve the aim coating citrus species with natural materials that will prevent their contact with oxygen and have sufficient surface coating properties until they reach the consumption stage can provide a solution to the problem. Slowing down the respiration rates of citrus fruit samples by coating them with natural biopolymer colophony and derivatives that have various properties is the subject of the current study. Thus, coating material solution suggestions made of natural polymer materials that will extend the shelf life of the products and allow them to be stored for longer periods at more affordable costs are presented in current study. The objective of this study is to prolong the shelf life of lemon fruits and reduce storage costs by applying a resin coating that effectively slows down their respiration rate until they reach the stage of consumption.
