Extending the shelf life of perishable food, such as apples, and storing them in cold conditions and/or controlled atmospheres have been great interest last decades. Apples are very valuable fruits with many health benefits, but during storage at ambient conditions, they ripen quickly lose moisture, causing lower crispness or other negative effects, resulting waste problems. There has growing attention to protective edible coatings active packaging films based on biopolymers natural bioactive substances. Edible allow for combination functional ingredients compounds, affecting maintenance postharvest quality vegetables. They also ensure preservation sensory characteristics can antimicrobial antioxidant properties. All these aspects play a significant role which help prevent waste, is line circular economy approach. The functionality closely related type, content, composition well their interaction biopolymers. Active addition different plant extracts, phenolic acids, nanoparticles, be an alternative solution apples storage, maintaining fruit’s stability, thus minimising waste. most important issues latest reports improving using incorporated various substances were evaluated. Agricultural factors that affect described. requirements should focused low-cost materials, including waste-based resources, good miscibility, compatibility components. Those combined may result extension retention regardless variety cultivation techniques.

Edible coatings are revolutionizing food preservation by offering a sustainable and effective solution to key industry challenges. Made from natural biopolymers such as proteins, polysaccharides, lipids, these form thin, edible layer on surfaces. This barrier reduces moisture loss, protects against oxidative damage, limits microbial growth, thereby extending shelf life while preserving quality. Enhanced with additives like essential oils antioxidants, offer antimicrobial benefits contribute health. Applications span fresh produce, where they control respiration moisture, meat, dairy, bakery products, maintaining sensory nutritional properties. Innovations in coating technologies-such composite materials, nano-emulsions, bio-nanocomposites-are improving their mechanical strength, properties, compatibility other methods modified atmosphere packaging. Although challenges remain cost, consumer acceptance, regulation, represent significant stride towards systems reduced dependence synthetic

Bananas (Musa spp.) are among the most widely consumed fruits globally, yet their high perishability and short shelf-life pose significant challenges to postharvest industry. To address this, edible coatings have been extensively studied for ability preserve physical, microbiological, sensory qualities of bananas. Among various types coatings, polysaccharide-based particularly chitosan, emerged as effective. The dipping method is predominantly employed application, surpassing spraying brushing techniques. This review integrates insights from bibliometric analysis using Scopus, revealing that research on bananas began in 2009, with 45 journals contributing field. Key trends, including publication growth, author contributions, geographical focus, explored through VOS-viewer analysis. Mechanistically, enhance banana quality by limiting gaseous exchange, reducing water loss, preventing lipid migration. Performance further improved incorporating active ingredients such antioxidants, antimicrobials, plasticizers. Despite benefits over synthetic chemicals, commercial adoption faces limitations, related scalability practicality. highlights these while proposing future directions advancing coating technologies preservation.
