| Abstract | Fresh fruits and vegetables are important sources of minerals, vitamins, fibers, and antioxidants, essential for human well-being. However, some fruits and vegetables are highly perishable with a very short shelf life during storage. Serious consumer concern over the use of chemical preservatives for this purpose has led to a green revolution and a sustainable era where the design and fabrication of edible coatings have attracted considerable interest. In recent years, scientific communities have paid great attention to the development of bio-based edible coatings to extend the postharvest shelf life of fruits and vegetables. Furthermore, nanotechnology has been distinguished as a great strategy for improving coating properties, including a better water barrier and better mechanical, optical, and microstructural properties, as well as gradual and controlled release of bioactive compounds. In this work, patent articles on plant-based nano-emulsions as edible coatings in the extension of fruit and vegetable shelf life were reviewed. The Patentscope search service and Espacenet portal were used, applying a query strategy composed of mesh terms and inclusion criteria. Through database searching, a total of 16 patent documents met the inclusion criteria. Further, to demonstrate the innovation trends in this topic, all relevant patents are described at the end of the study, along with the components, technology, application, and advantages of developed preparations. |
