ABSTRACT:
Increased stability of fruits, vegetables or fungi is achieved by coating thereof with compositions comprising: at least one polysaccharide polymer, a preservative, an acidulant, lecithin (i.e. a first emulsifier) and a second emulsifier. Optionally, the compositions may also include: at least one antioxidant composition, at least one composition which is a plant growth regulator and/or a chilling injury protectant. The present invention is also drawn to methods of making and using the aforementioned compositions, and fruits or vegetables or fungi having a composition of the present invention applied to an exterior surface thereof. The instant invention may be practiced with fruits, vegetables or fungi, with or without a rind or peel or skin, or which have been cut or sliced.
