Coatings significantly extended shelf-life and quality of bananas, effectively doubling their storage time.
Chitosan-based coatings reduced weight loss by up to 35% and improved firmness by maintaining 35% higher levels.
The research shows up to 63% reduction in reducing sugars at day 14, indicating delayed ripening.
These findings point to the viability of utilizing food waste in developing sustainable coatings for food preservation.
