Project Abstract
<p>**<br>This research project aims to investigate the effectiveness of edible films and coatings in prolonging the shelf life of fresh produce. Various types of edible films and coatings derived from natural sources will be studied for their ability to reduce moisture loss, inhibit microbial growth, and maintain overall product quality during storage. The findings of this study will contribute to the development of sustainable and environmentally friendly methods for preserving fresh fruits and vegetables.<br><br><br></p>Project Overview
