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.
