AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing technologies are costly and require active cooling to prevent agricultural product degradation, maintain quality, and extend shelf life. Furthermore, the heat generated during the respiration process of agricultural products is a major cost driver for shipping companies.
Method used
A composition comprising monoglycerides, diglycerides, surfactants, and food-safe antimicrobial agents is used to form a barrier film on the surface of agricultural products to prevent microbial growth and reduce heat and humidity generation.
Benefits of technology
It effectively extends the shelf life of agricultural products, reduces microbial growth, minimizes heat and moisture loss during storage, and lowers transportation and storage costs.

Abstract
Compositions useful as antimicrobial or protective coatings for agricultural (e.g., food) products are provided. The compositions can include: one or more saturated glycerol esters selected from glycerol monoesters and glycerol diesters; one or more surfactants; and one or more food-safe antimicrobial agents. The antimicrobial or protective coatings can be used to prevent or delay food spoilage due to, for example, infection by foreign pathogens, loss of moisture, or oxidation.
