Abstract
Natural plant-based wax coatings/films function as a gas, moisture, oxygen, and light barrier, inhibit the loss of volatile aroma components, and promote the migration of antimicrobial and antioxidant components into the fruit; thus, they extend the shelf life of fruit and vegetables and improve quality properties like moisture and firmness.
