Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are found on the surface of some plants, forming their natural microbiome, and especially common in fermented plant products. They microorganisms capable performing lactic fermentation, during which they utilize carbohydrates produce acid. considered probiotic microorganisms. LAB characterized by strong antagonistic activity against other The mechanism action these is mainly based production substances with antimicrobial activity. Some strains also inhibit secretion mycotoxins mold fungi or have ability to eliminate them from environment. With changing climate need for plants adapt new, often stressful climatic conditions, use crops may offer a promising solution. These stimulate resistance abiotic factors, i.e., drought extreme temperatures. Research has shown extend storage life fruits vegetables. reduce number unfavorable that contaminate products cause spoilage. negative effect human pathogenic bacteria, can food poisoning humans. When applied as an edible coating leaves fruits, protect vegetables microbial contamination; moreover, be served carriers benefit health. presented properties predispose practical use, components biological protection products, growth biostimulants, fertilizer great potential replace agrochemicals used safe component biofertilizers formulations increasing resilience, crop productivity, quality. line aims objectives sustainable horticulture. However, there limitations gaps should before application, particularly regarding efficient effective transfer antibiotic resistance.

Blackberries (Rubus fructicosus L.) are categorized as functional foods, they rich in bioactive compounds. Due to limited shelf life and susceptibility postharvest quality deterioration, it is imperative investigate interventions that can prolong the fruit’s quality. This research aimed develop sonicated microwave-assisted pasteurized (SMAP) edible gels with citrus peel essential oil (CPEO). Additionally, we evaluate effects of different temperatures (4, 20 30 °C) on following blackberry treatments:control (C), blanched (B), coated + (B+SMAP). The synergistic effect B+SMAP coating was more effective at maintaining blackberries after 21 days storage by inhibiting fruit weight loss 18% decay 65% compared control group 4 °C. SMAP-coated fruits total flavonoid reduction 23% flavanols 24% when stored °C days. treatment hindered phenolic content 16%, antioxidant activity 27% DPPH radical scavenging 19% under for We concluded SMAP gel an innovative health-friendly approach extending during storage.
