Fresh, minimally processed fruits may benefit from the flavor and shelf-life preservation offered by eco-friendly edible films and coatings. In order to preserve fruits from water loss, browning, tissue softening, and microbial contamination, they can create protective layers around them, stabilize their respiration rates, and protect them from these conditions. An inventive approach to this problem is to apply edible films and coatings to fruits and vegetables, which is an environmentally beneficial way. Additionally, active ingredients like tastes, colorants, minerals, and antibacterial and antioxidant compounds can be transported via these coatings, extending shelf life, enhancing organoleptic qualities, and boosting nutritional value.
