Unique Features Of The Solution/equipment - How Is It Different Than What Is Available In The Market:

A carbohydrate based edible coating material has been developed at NABI from agricultural by-products such as wheat straw and oat bran.The carbohydrate based edible coating material has the potential to be an alternative to shellac coating in India by improving the quality and post-harvest storage life of perishable fruits (Apple, Peach and Banana) specifically during transportation and storage.

Indicate Process Followed to arrive at the problem statement for which Solution has been developed:

Due to limited availability of cold chain facilities especially during storage and transportation, development of coating materials to prolong the shelf life of fruits and vegetables is the high priority in this research area. The coating technology is simple and can be applied in the farm level.
