Presently, fresh fruit are most demanded in the market because of its good nutritional value. Due to perishable nature of fruit, it has a very short shelf life. Major losses in quality and quantity of fresh fruit occur by microorganisms, insects, pre and post harvesting conditions during transport and preservation. In the modern era, the application of bio based material as a way of enhancing the shelf life of highly perishable produce is promising. Edible coatings can provide an additional protective coating for fresh produce and can also give the same effect as modified atmosphere storage in modifying internal gas composition. Recently, various coatings for preserving fruit such as plums, apples and strawberries were successfully applied.
