In today's market, there is a high demand for fruits and vegetables due to their significant nutritional value. However, their short shelf life poses a challenge, as they are susceptible to damage and spoilage caused by insects, microorganisms, and unfavourable pre and post-harvesting conditions during transportation and storage. To address this issue, the preservation of fruits and vegetables has become a crucial concern globally. One effective method to overcome this challenge is the use of edible coatings, which provide a protective and consumable covering for fruits and vegetables. This approach offers numerous benefits for both consumers and the environment. Moreover, the use of herbal edible coatings has gained popularity, as they serve as nutraceuticals and contribute to consumer health. Edible coatings come in various types, including hydrocolloids, lipids, and plasticizers. These coatings possess excellent barrier properties against oxygen (O2), carbon dioxide (CO2), moisture, and water vapor. By creating a protective barrier, they help extend the shelf life of fruits and vegetables, preserving their quality and reducing the extent of damage caused by external factors.
