Recent advances in polysaccharide-based edible coatings for preservation of fruits and vegetables: A review

Jiaxin Wu et al.

Summary: Harvested fruits and vegetables are prone to decay and quality deterioration during storage. Traditional packaging and chemical treatments, although effective, are harmful to the environment and human health. As a result, there is a growing interest in non-toxic, degradable, and edible packaging materials for fruits and vegetables. Polysaccharides such as chitosan, alginate, cellulose, pectin, and starch have been widely used as coating materials. These coatings have shown better preservation effects and higher safety compared to traditional plastic packaging and chemical treatments.

Kiwi Fruits Preservation Using Novel Edible Active Coatings Based on Rich Thymol Halloysite Nanostructures and Chitosan/Polyvinyl Alcohol Gels

Constantinos E. Salmas et al.

Summary: The study aims to replace previous fossil-based techniques for food packaging and shelf-life extension with more environmentally friendly processes and materials in line with the circular economy and global environmental trends. A novel adsorption process is used to produce thymol-halloysite nanohybrids and disperse them in chitosan biopolymer. The incorporation of this biodegradable matrix with poly-vinyl-alcohol produces promising food packaging films with excellent mechanical and barrier properties, as well as antimicrobial and antioxidant activities. The films, when tested in-vivo for preserving and extending the shelf-life of kiwi fruits, showed enhanced preservation effects due to the controlled release of thymol from the nanohybrids.
