The dried mulberry (Morus alba) is among the fruits that occurrence a high risk of storage pests due to its high sugar content. Coating materials slow down the chemical spoilage that will occur in foods. The effect of the coating material used in the study on mulberry and Drosophila melanogaster was determined. The insect’s weight, texture, and biochemical analysis (Total oxidant- TOS; total antioxidant levels-TAS; oxidative stress index-OSI; Glutathione-S-transferase-GST and Catalase-CAT enzymes) were determined as a result of the application. In terms of weight, it was observed that the weight of individuals fed with 1% chitosan-coated mulberry was higher in female and male individuals. In terms of texture, the highest hardness was measured in males fed 0.2% chitosan and females fed 1% chitosan. Because of the biochemical analysis, the insect does not create resistance. The GST, CAT and TAS enzymes are synthesized close to normal. The OSI is low without increasing TOS, indicating that 1 and 2% coated mulberries are usable in environments and insects.
