Efficacy of an antifungal edible coating for the quality maintenance of Tarocco orange fruit during cold storage

TL;DR: Results indicated that PBECY enhanced the antifungal effect compared to PBEC, given the significant reduction of Penicillium digitatum decay incidence, thus demonstrating the potential of this edible coating for future industrial application.

The Effects of Edible Coatings on the Postharvest Quality of Citrus Fruits as Affected by Granulation

TL;DR: Edible coatings act as a barrier for the air and water transitions through the surface of fruits which results in retarding the deterioration of fruits, preventing and/or controlling the microbial decay, improving the fruit quality, and hence extending the storage duration.

Chitosan: antimicrobial activity, interactions with food components and applicability as a coating on fruit and vegetables

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of chitosan coatings on controlling decay of minimally processed fruits and vegetables (strawberry and lettuce) were investigated. And the results showed that chitoshan had a deacetylation degree of 94% and a molecular weight of 43 kDa on different psychrotrophic spoilage organisms and food pathogens.
