Material-independent nanocoating antimicrobial spray extends the shelf life of produce

The edible coating on produce has drawn a great deal of attention in the food and agricultural industry. It could not only prolong postharvest shelf life of produce against external changes in the environment but also provide additional nutrients to be useful for human health. However, most versions of the coating have had intrinsic limitations in their practical application. First, highly specific interactions between coating materials and target surfaces are required for a stable and durable coating. Even further, the coating of bulk substrates, such as fruits, is time consuming or is not achievable in the conventional solution-based coating. In this respect, material-independent and rapid coating strategies are highly demanded.

The research team led by Professor Insung Choi of the Department of Chemistry developed a sprayable nanocoating technique using plant-derived polyphenol that can be applied to any surface. This new nanocoating process can be completed in seconds to form nanometer-thick films, allowing for the coating of commodity goods, such as shoe insoles and fruits, in a controlled fashion. For example, spray-coated mandarin oranges and strawberries show significantly-prolonged postharvest shelf life, suggesting the practical potential in edible coatings of perishable produce.

The technology has been patented and is currently being commercialized for widespread use as a means of preserving produce. The research results have recently been published in Scientific Reports on Aug 1.

It’s virtually impossible to determine the definite effects of certain foods on your health and well being due to the difficulty in isolating key variables for undertaking scientific studies. What is clear is that one single significant contribution to the overall health and longevity of certain populations such as Crete and Corfu is the consistent consumption of olive oil. These statistics are clear and consistent and allows dietitians to compare and contrast diets from around the world. Fresh olive oil is one ingredient of the most healthy diet in the world, but it certainly is an important one. . . . . . @nicolelapierrephotography #polyphenols #polyphenol #anticancer #anticardiovasculardisease #anytiheartdisease #oliveoil #happy #naturegoodness #love #amazing #instagood #colourful #healthylifestyle #healthy #healthyeating #healthyliving #health #antiinflammatory #antiinflammatoryfood #antiinflammatorydiet #lucaniaestate #oleocanthal #nature #love #lovelife #nourish #loveyou #loveyourself #loveislove #selflove #lovelife #selfcare https://www.instagram.com/p/CQF74QqDKMA/?utm_medium=tumblr
