Abstract

Rising environmental concerns have forced many industries to seek more environmentally friendly processing methods and safer material alternatives. This review explores eco-friendly coating techniques for extending the shelf life of fruits, aiming at reducing environmental stressors and improving ecological sustainability. The paper evaluates traditional and innovative methods, including active and passive altered environments, edible coatings, 3D food printing, and nanotechnology. The overview highlights the benefits of these techniques in maintaining freshness, cutting waste, and enhancing food quality through the entire supply chain. Additionally, the review analyzes the safety and environmental impact of eco-friendly coatings compared to conventional counterparts. The findings underscore the importance of sustainable practices in food production, emphasizing the need for informed decisions that promote consumer welfare and environmental sustainability. The review concludes with a call for further research into biodegradable and edible materials for coatings, focusing on enhancing nutritional value, reducing spoilage, and integrating innovative technologies for food preservation.

期刊介绍： The journal presents readers with the latest research, knowledge, emerging technologies, and advances in food processing and preservation. Encompassing chemical, physical, quality, and engineering properties of food materials, the Journal of Food Processing and Preservation provides a balance between fundamental chemistry and engineering principles and applicable food processing and preservation technologies. This is the only journal dedicated to publishing both fundamental and applied research relating to food processing and preservation, benefiting the research, commercial, and industrial communities. It publishes research articles directed at the safe preservation and successful consumer acceptance of unique, innovative, non-traditional international or domestic foods. In addition, the journal features important discussions of current economic and regulatory policies and their effects on the safe and quality processing and preservation of a wide array of foods.
