Effects of Antimicrobial Nanocomposite Films Packaging on the Postharvest Quality and Spoilage Bacterial Communities of Mushrooms (Chanterelles)
This research developed an innovative packaging material using nanoparticles and essential oils to extend the shelf life of Chanterelle mushrooms. The special packaging helps keep mushrooms fresher longer by preventing browning and controlling bacterial growth. Impact on everyday life: • Longer storage time for fresh mushrooms in home refrigerators • Reduced food waste from spoiled mushrooms • Safer mushroom products with better quality maintenance • Potential applications for other perishable foods • More sustainable food packaging options using biodegradable materials
