"For example, coating ripe tomatoes increased the shelf life of tomatoes by close to one month when compared to uncoated tomatoes, when stored under ambient temperature."
"it is difficult to keep strawberries fresh for more than 5 days. But with our coating, ripe strawberries can be preserved for more than 20 days,” Vimal Katiyar told indianexpress.com over email."
"“The end user does not require any special knowledge or machinery to apply the coating. These are very simple solutions that can be applied very easily. Farmers already used to use such produce handling solutions on a day-to-day basis,” said Katiyar."
