Atom8 Agri H2O Stretch

Product Information

(In aid for Extended Freshness and Climate Protection of fruits, vegetable, eggs etc.) A novel antimicrobial ZnO nanoparticles-added polysaccharide edible coating for the preservation of postharvest fruits, vegetables, eggs etc. under ambient conditions. The postharvest loss of fresh fruits and vegetables are estimated to be around 20–30%. Given the perishable nature of fruits and vegetables, the use of cold storage is necessary to delay changes related to ripening, such as ethylene making, softening, pigment changes, respiration rate, acidity changes and a decrease in weight. However, cold storage is not enough to preserve fruits and vegetables quality at optimum levels during transportation, often leading to the incidence of severe chilling injury symptoms. Therefore the appropriate postharvest technologies combined with cold storage are needed.
