NanoChitinase: A Truncated-Enzyme, Polymer-Nanoparticle Biocoating for Preventing Post-Harvest Fungal Spoilage
TS-072614 — A highly stable, edible, nano-engineered chitinase formulation that provides superior antifungal protection for fruits, vegetables, and seeds by combining an enhanced chitinase variant with biodegradable polymer nanoparticles for extended shelf life and reduced post-harvest losses.
Post-harvest fungal spoilage remains one of the most costly challenges in global food supply chains, with up to 40–50% losses in onions and strawberries reported in major producing regions. Conventional chemical fungicides face increasing regulatory pressure, safety concerns, and resistance …
