Summary:Alternatives to synthetic chemical fungicides are needed to reduce postharvest losses of fresh fruit caused by fungal pathogens. Among them, the development of edible coatings with antifungal activity is a technological challenge and a very active research field worldwide. The main advantage of these coatings is that they could provide a single solution for both physiological and pathological major postharvest issues.
