Nano Emulsion of Essential Oils Loaded in Chitosan Coating for Controlling Anthracnose in Tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum) During Storage

Researchers developed a natural coating made from chitosan (a biopolymer) and thyme essential oil nano particles to protect tomatoes from a fungal disease called anthracnose during storage. When applied to tomatoes, this coating reduced disease occurrence by 50%, outperforming the commercial fungicide currently used. This eco-friendly solution offers a sustainable alternative to synthetic chemical treatments while maintaining tomato quality for longer periods.
