Evaluation of different factors affecting antimicrobial properties of chitosan. (2016, background): “Incorporation of essential oils (EOs) in chitosan based coatings has gained interest in the agricultural sciences owing to the bactericidal and fungicidal properties associated with these volatile compounds (Ali et al., 2015).”
Chitosan-Based Coating with Antimicrobial Agents: Preparation, Property, Mechanism, and Application Effectiveness on Fruits and Vegetables (2016, background): “[23] reported that chitosan-based coating with lemongrass essential oil could maintain the quality of bell pepper throughout the storage.”
Starch-Based Coatings for Preservation of Fruits and Vegetables (2018, background): “However, the antimicrobial activity of the EO was higher in the in vitro tests than that observed in in vivo applications on bell pepper, which was attributed to the inability of the oil to adhere to the bell pepper surface [62].”
State of the Art of Antimicrobial Edible Coatings for Food Packaging Applications (2017, background): “0% (w/w) of chitosan solution has been successful to control anthracnose in bell pepper [123].”
