A sprayable, washable carboxymethyl chitosan-based selenium nanocomposite coating for antibacterial and nutrient preservation in postharvest fruits.
Postharvest fruits are highly susceptible to spoilage, whereas traditional plastic packaging poses environmental concerns. This study presents a sprayable, water-washable carboxymethyl chitosan-based nanocomposite coating fabricated via a hydrogen bond-electrostatic self-assembly strategy. By incorporating epigallocate...
