General Description
Replacing single-use plastic packaging, biodegradable chitosan-based coatings will be used for direct application on fruits and vegetables to improve shelf life and avoid additional packaging.
The coatings made of several formulations will be tested and validated fully in compliance with food regulations in the lab and on site. Local retailers will be involved for onsite testing at a relevant scale.
