Background The technology of food packaging is responding to significant market dynamics
such as the rapid growth in e-commerce and preservation of fresh food, a sector that …

Currently, nanotechnology represents an important tool and an efficient option for extending
the shelf life of foods. Reducing particle size to nanometric scale gives materials distinct and …

This study investigated the effects of bio-nanocomposite coatings developed using
arrowroot starch (AA), cellulose nanocrystals (CNC), carnauba wax nanoemulsion (CWN) …

Chitosan is a natural biopolymer from crab shells that is known for its biocompatibility,
biodegradability, and bioactivity. In human medicine, chitosan is used as a stabilizer for …

The chitosan nano-coating film used during the storage and preservation of fruits and
vegetables is attracting increasing attention. In this investigation, the chitosan/titanium …

In this work, the properties of the plasticized hemicelluloses/chitosan-based edible films
reinforced by cellulose nanofiber (CNF) have been evaluated. Results showed that the …

Regardless of their applications, polymers are still considered mechanically weak and
functionally insufficient for certain demanding coating and adhesive uses. To address those …

Post-harvest diseases of fruit and vegetables have to be controlled because of the high
added value of commodities and the great economic loss related to spoilage. Synthetic …

In this work, novel edible coating films based on beeswax-in-water (O/W) Pickering
emulsions had been investigated. The Pickering emulsions were stabilized with cellulose …

Fresh fruits and vegetables are perishable commodities requiring technologies to extend
their postharvest shelf life. Edible coatings have been used as a strategy to preserve fresh …
