Chitosan-coated nanoemulsions loaded with lemongrass essential oil: formulation and process optimization for postharvest quality retention and shelf-life extension of papaya

DVDharini VenkatachalamPSPeriyar Selvam SellamuthuJJJayaramudu Jarugala

Key Points

  • This research aims to develop a formulation using chitosan-coated nanoemulsions to improve the shelf life of papaya fruits.
  • Formulated chitosan-coated nanoemulsions loaded with lemongrass essential oil.
  • Evaluated impacts on microbial growth and physiological degradation of papaya.
  • Optimized process parameters for effective application.
  • Chitosan-coated nanoemulsions significantly reduced microbial growth on papaya.
  • The formulation slowed down the physiological degradation of the fruits.
  • Extended shelf life of papaya by a determined time frame without compromising quality.

Abstract

Chitosan-coated nanoemulsions extended the shelf-life of papaya fruits by reducing microbial growth and slowing physiological degradation, offering a sustainable and scalable postharvest preservation strategy.
