Description

Carollyne Maragoni-Santos and a team of co-authors build an edible coating from babassu palm to keep cherry tomatoes fresh. Their study appeared in twenty twenty-five. Coatings carrying plant extracts can cut spoilage after harvest without plastic wrap.

The team first made green solvents from choline chloride mixed with citric acid, glucose, or urea. The acid mix pulled the strongest extracts from uxi bark and jambolan leaves, with high antioxidant and germ-fighting power. Those extracts went into the palm-based coating. Coated tomatoes lost less weight, stayed firm, and kept good microbe counts for up to nine days. In a bruschetta taste test, over eighty percent of tasters accepted the coated fruit.
