Application of a Pickering Emulsion Stabilized by Zein and Cellulose Nanocrystalline Composite Particles to Preserve Kiwifruit

Researchers developed a new type of protective coating for kiwifruit that prevents fungal decay and extends shelf life. This coating is made from natural materials (corn protein and cellulose nanoparticles) combined with carvacrol, a natural antimicrobial compound. The coating is stable, effective, and safe for human consumption, offering a promising alternative to traditional chemical fungicides for preserving fresh fruits.
