NanoChitinase: A Biocoating for Preventing Fungal Spoilage
TS-072614 — A Nano-engineered chitinase formulation that provides superior antifungal protection for produce and seeds. Combining an enhanced chitinase variant with biodegradable polymer nanoparticles produces an edible, highly stable, formulation with enhanced performance and extended shelf life, reducing post-harvest losses.
Fungal spoilage is a costly challenge in global food supply chains. Conventional chemical fungicides face increasing regulatory pressure, safety concerns, and resistance issues. Biological solutions, while safer, suffer from enzyme instability and reduced catalytic activity. Our NanoChitinase addr…
