Edible Chitosan/Propolis Coatings and Their Effect on Ripening, Development of <i>Aspergillus flavus</i>, and Sensory Quality in Fig Fruit, during Controlled Storage

Edible Chitosan/Propolis Coatings and Their Effect on Ripening, Development of <i>Aspergillus flavus</i>, and Sensory Quality in Fig Fruit, during Controlled Storage

Biodegradable alternatives for the control of <i>Aspergillus flavus</i> in fig fruit were tested with the application of coatings based on chitosan (CS) and propolis (P). To potentiate the fungicidal effect, nanoparticles of these two (CSNPs and PNPs) were also considered. The objectives...
