Can edible coatings help keep fresh-cut carrots in good condition for longer? 🥕
🔬 Within INTACTBioPack, researchers are testing innovative edible coatings containing natural microbiomes and selected microbial strains to explore their potential for food preservation.
👩🔬 This experimental work brings together Hana Mallek, PhD student at INAT, and Antonia Corvino, CNR scholarship holder, alongside Maria Cefola, Vittorio Capozzi and Maria Lucia de Chiara from CNR.
🌿 The goal? To better understand how these coatings influence carrot quality and shelf life, while exploring more sustainable approaches to food preservation and packaging.
