In the world market nowadays, you can buy all kinds of food shipped anywhere in the world. The only problem with fruits and vegetables is that they go bad quickly. This fresh produce usually gets destroyed during shipment because it does not last long, which leads to microbial illness. The edible coating with an essential oil is very significant for stopping this kind of contamination and mechanical damage. The essential oil in edible coatings helps slow the growth of microbes, and the coatings form a very thin film around the fruit’s surface that protects it from mechanical damage. Finding the right dose of essential oil is very important because it impacts the taste, smell, and look of any fresh food. Essential oils can improve the taste and smell of the fruit, but this can sometimes make the fruit worse. Too much essential oil is what makes some fruits turn brown. Essential oils have antibacterial and antioxidant properties that improve the quality of the fruit and extend the shelf life of fresh food by slowing down the growth of microbes. This chapter of the book talks about the many ways to get essential oils and their influence on edible coatings for different kinds of fresh produce.
