Research Progress on the Application of Nanoemulsions in Fruit and Vegetable Preservation
Fresh fruits are delicate and have high water content after harvest,making them susceptible to microbial contamination during storage and transportation,leading to water loss and spoilage of the raw materials.In recent years,due to the characteristics of small particle size,large specific surface area,and stable microstructure,nanoemulsions have been widely used in the field of food preservation.The nanoemulsion coating can effectively prevent water loss,respiration,and the growth and reproduction of microorganisms in fruits and vegetables after harvest,providing good chemical protection for the storage and transportation process of fruits and vegetables.This paper summarizes the formula of nanoemulsions and emphasizes the potential benefits in food preservation,aiming to extend the shelf life of fruits and vegetables,improve product management levels,reduce the loss of perishable food,and achieve economic and sustainable distribution.
