Chitosan in the Preservation of Agricultural Commodities presents a
cohesive overview of research topics regarding the production and
characterization of chitosan, the development of coatings and fi
lms, its functional properties, and antimicrobial potential of this
compound on economically important agricultural commodities. It
includes the modes of action from a physiological, enzymatic, and
molecular perspective, and evaluations of the activity of chitosan
nanocomposites and nanoparticles in biological models. The first
section deals with the chemical characteristics and functional
properties of chitosan and new chitosan-based biomaterials intended
for food preservation. The second section covers various aspects of
the control achieved by chitosan on different microorganisms
affecting various horticultural commodities, grains, and
ornamentals, and its modes of action. The third section explores
enzymatic and gene expression induction by chitosan application on
fruit and vegetables; the fourth section offers insight on the use
of chitosan nanocomposites in biological models associated with
food conservation and control of microorganisms.
