Abstract:

A significant obstacle that the agriculture industry worldwide must overcome is the post-harvest loss of fruits and vegetables. Natural and environmentally friendly solutions, such as chitosan coatings, have been the focus of researchers as they attempt to solve this problem. As a result of its exceptional qualities, including non-toxicity, biodegradability, biocompatibility, and the possibility of applications in post-harvest preservation, chitosan, which is a biopolymer derived from chitin, has garnered a significant amount of attention. The current state of research on chitosan coatings for preserving fruits and vegetables is examined in great detail in this review article, which provides an in-depth research analysis. In addition, it highlights the benefits of using chitosan coatings, such as their natural antimicrobial, antifungal, and antioxidant properties, as well as their capacity to extend the shelf life of products while preserving the quality characteristics of fresh products. Additionally, the review contains a discussion of the mechanisms that are responsible for the interaction between chitosan and agricultural products
