Chitosan In Fruit Coatings
Post-harvest and near-harvest solutions are much needed for extending shelf life of fruits and vegetables (FNV), preserving quality and reducing losses throughout its journey from the farm to the table. Our biopolymer solution can be applied to the harvest to preserve freshness, reduce spoilage and extend shelf life without the use of synthetic chemicals and harmful residues.
Keep Fruits & Vegetables Fresh for longer - Naturally and Sustainably.
Keep Fruits & Vegetables Fresh for longer - Naturally and Sustainably.
Every extra day of shelf life added is Money saved.
Every 1% reduction in post-harvest loss can translate to ₹1,000 - 2,000 per tonne of additional revenue for the packer/exporter.
Extending shelf life by just 2 days can reduce stock rotation losses by 10–15%
Global fruit loss = >400 million tonnes per year (FAO, 2022)
The global economic loss exceeds USD 1 trillion annually across the FNV supply chain.

Spoilage of fresh produce leads to wastage and results in monetary losses for all key stakeholders in the supply chain. It can disrupt the supply chain, creating a shortage of supplies and leading to price rise. The industry is continuously looking for cost-effective and innovative solutions to extend the shelf life of fruits and vegetables (FNV) as they swiftly move from the farms to the markets and eventually on our tables. Most packing houses and exporters use synthetic wax or Shellac based coatings because they are easy to use and highly affordable.
On the otherhand, retailers are demanding natural and residue free solutions owing to increased consumer awareness and preferences. While new solutions are welcome, they must find easy adoption in the existing workflow. Our biopolymer solution comes in a liquid form and can be applied on the produce either by dipping the produce or spraying the solution on the produce. The above illustration explains the process in simple steps and is very much doable. The solution can be applied for a variety of fruits and vegetables – apples, mandarins, oranges, limes, pomegranate, bananas, avocado, mangoes and more – the list is endless.

Need for Near & Post Harvest fruit treatment
Perishable nature of the produce
Fresh fruits and vegetables are highly perishable and can lose its palatability and marketability within 3 to 5 days if post harvest fruit treatment procedures are not carried out. Fresh produce such as fruits and vegetables (FNV) continue to respire and start losing moisture right after they are plucked. If the post harvest fruit treatment procedures are not performed, this continued biological activity leads to –Deterioration of color and textureWilting and shriveling due to loss of moisturePotential microbial infestations Spoilage resulting in rejections and wastageDisruption in supply chains
Retailers demand improved shelf life
Every extra day of freshness adds profits
