Thesis Abstract

<p><br></p><p><strong>Abstract
</strong> This research project aims to investigate the efficacy of edible coatings in prolonging the shelf life of fruits and vegetables. With increasing consumer demand for fresh produce and the need to reduce food waste, edible coatings present a promising solution by providing a protective barrier against moisture loss, microbial growth, and physical damage. The study will involve the development and application of various edible coating formulations using natural polymers such as chitosan, alginate, and pectin. The effectiveness of these coatings will be evaluated through a series of experiments assessing shelf life extension, quality attributes, and consumer acceptance of coated fruits and vegetables.</p> <br><p></p>
