  • Publication number: 20240245067
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for forming a protective coating on a plant tissue by applying a first aqueous solution containing a crosslinking agent to a postharvest plant matter having an external surface that includes a first segment which is covered by natural skin and a second segment which has an exposed surface, wherein the first aqueous solution is applied at least upon the exposed surface of the second segment of the postharvest plant matter; and subsequently applying a second aqueous solution comprising a polysaccharide which is susceptible to crosslinking by the crosslinking agent at least upon the exposed surface of the second segment of the postharvest plant matter, thereby forming a protective coating on the exposed surface of the second segment of the postharvest plant matter due to crosslinking of the polysaccharide by the crosslinking agent.

  • Patent number: 11980202
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for forming a protective coating on a plant tissue following the consecutives steps of: (a) providing a plant having an external surface, wherein a portion of the external surface includes an exposed surface; (b) applying a first aqueous solution that contains a crosslinking agent to the external surface of the plant; and (c) applying to the external surface of the plant a second aqueous solution that contains a polysaccharide which is susceptible to crosslinking by the crosslinking agent, thereby forming a protective coating on the exposed surface of the plant. Further provided is a postharvest plant matter that includes a first segment covered by natural skin, and a second segment having an exposed surface that is coated by a protective coating that contains a polysaccharide with the first segment being essentially free of the protective coating.
