therapeutic action: preservation of fresh produce

Ultrasound-assisted development and characterization of novel polyphenol-loaded pullulan/trehalose composite films for fruit preservation

Researchers developed a new type of edible food wrap made from natural plant materials (tea polyphenols, pullulan, and trehalose) treated with ultrasound. This wrap is stronger, more protective against oxygen and moisture, and kills harmful bacteria like E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus. When used to wrap fresh apples and pears, it significantly extended their shelf life by reducing browning and decay.
