“…Coated "Newhall" oranges generally had lower respiration rate than the uncoated fruits ( Figure 5A), likely due to the modification of internal atmosphere by elevating CO 2 and/or reducing O 2 [28]. Similar observations have been reported by Arnon et al [48], Chien et al [49], Contreras-Oliva et al [50], and Xu et al [51] in citrus fruits coated with chitosan-based edible coatings. In our research, the incorporation of HFE into 1.5% chitosan coating formulation resulted in a significantly lower respiration rate than 1.5% chitosan coating alone, and uncoated fruits, during the whole storage.…”

A novel coating based on 1.5% chitosan (CH), enriched with or without hairy fig (Ficus hirta Vahl.) fruit extract (HFE), was applied to “Newhall” navel orange for improving the preservation effect. Changes in physicochemical indexes were analyzed over 120 days of cold storage. Uncoated fruit were used as the control. The CH-HFE coating, based on 1.5% CH enriched with HFE, exhibited the best preservation effect and showed the lowest decay rate (5.2%) and weight loss (5.16%). The CH-HFE coating could postpone the ripening and senescence of navel oranges, and maintain higher fruit quality by inhibiting respiration, decreasing the accumulation of malondialdehyde (MDA), and enhancing the activities of protective enzyme, including superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), chitinase (CHI), and β-1,3-glucanase (GLU), which suggests that CH-HFE coating has the potential to improve the postharvest quality of “Newhall” navel orange and prolong the storage life.

“…However, when tangerine fruits were coated by chitosan/montmorillonite containing 1% (w/w), a lower decay percentage, lower mass loss, higher contents of total soluble solids and titratable acidity were recorded. At the end of the storage period, decay percentage of coated fruits was only 28.3%, which was 5.8% lower than control treatment suggesting that chitosan/montmorillonite coating can prolong the shelf life period of tangerine fruits [56]. In this research, the integration of montmorillonite was capable of enhancing the water vapor barrier parameters of chitosan coating and subsequently reduced mass loss of tangerine fruits.…”

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 fungicides are the first choice worldwide to control post-harvest diseases of fruit and vegetables. However, several problems and constraints related to their use have forced scientists to develop alternatives control means to prevent post-harvest diseases. Physical and biological means, resistance inducers, and GRAS (generally recognized as safe) compounds are the most important alternatives used during the last 20 years. Recently, nanomaterial treatments have demonstrated promising results and they are being investigated to reduce the utilization of synthetic fungicides to control post-harvest rot in fruit and vegetables. The collective information in this review article covers a wide range of nanomaterials used to control post-harvest decays related to each selected fruit crop including grape, citrus, banana, apple, mango, peach, and nectarine. Other examples also used are apricot, guava, avocado, papaya, dragon, pear, longan, loquat, jujubes, and pomegranate fruits.

Chitosan Nanocomposite Coatings for Food, Paints, and Water Treatment Applications

Worldwide, millions of tons of crustaceans are produced every year and consumed as protein-rich seafood. However, the shells of the crustaceans and other non-edible parts constituting about half of the body mass are usually discarded as waste. These discarded crustacean shells are a prominent source of polysaccharide (chitin) and protein. Chitosan is a de-acetylated form of chitin obtained from the crustacean waste that has attracted attention for applications in food, biomedical, and paint industries due to its characteristic properties, like solubility in weak acids, film-forming ability, pH-sensitivity, biodegradability, and biocompatibility. We present an overview of the application of chitosan in composite coatings for applications in food, paint, and water treatment. In the context of food industries, the main focus is on fabrication and application of chitosan-based composite films and coatings for prolonging the post-harvest life of fruits and vegetables, whereas anti-corrosion and self-healing properties are the main properties considered for antifouling applications in paints in this review.
