Due to storage and transportation, water loss, browning and decay might occur in postharvest fruits and vegetables. Koatilm is a mushroom chitosan-based coating with strong antifungal properties that effectively slow down fruit decay by forming a coating on the exocarp (skin,peel) of fruits and vegetables that reduces the respiration rate.
