Research progress of preservative coating of natural polymer materials

Abstract

The planting area and output of fruits and vegetables in China are the first in the world. However, due to the imperfection of storage and transportation fresh-keeping technology, the annual loss of fruits and vegetables in China is serious. Rational use of fresh-keeping coating is of great significance for improving the shelf life of fruits and vegetables. Natural polymer preservative coating is widely concerned in the field of fruits and vegetables due to its wide sources, degradability, low price and good film-forming ability. In this paper, the types of natural polymer preservative coating were reviewed, and its application in the freshkeeping of fruits and vegetables was summarized and prospected, so as to provide Reference for further research.
