Summary
Edible coatings enhance or replace natural coatings lost during postharvest operations and are an effective means to extend shelf life. They reduce water loss, lower internal oxygen, increase internal carbon dioxide and ethylene concentrations, reduce respiration rate, and retard ripening processes.
