Resumo: | Until recently, taste and appearance were the most important attributes of fresh fruits and other vegetables, but nowadays, consumers are more concerned about food safety and nutritional values, demanding to use less chemicals in fruits and vegetables. In this context, much attention has been given to the search for natural substances capable of acting as antimicrobials and antioxidants, being an alternative to the products used in the maintenance of food quality. This increased interest has intensified due to concerns about the limited natural resources of the fossil fuel reserve and the environmental impact caused by the use of non-biodegradable plastic-based packaging materials. The demand for renewable and biodegradable products has become an important strategy in the effort to reduce the polluting impact of packaging on the environment. To overcome this problem, an edible coating approach can be used where biopolymers emerge as possible replacements for petroleum-based packaging materials. Known as “green plastics” or bioplastics, they are made from biodegradable polymers such as starches, cellulose, and sodium alginate, among others, with numerous studies being conducted to investigate the ability of edible toppings to preserve the quality and extend the shelf life of fresh fruits and vegetables. This is possible due to their acting by regulating the metabolic activities of the fruits and the addition of active ingredients that interact with the product. |

En este contexto, se ha prestado mucha atención a la búsqueda de sustancias naturales capaces de actuar como antimicrobianos y antioxidantes, siendo una alternativa a los productos utilizados en el mantenimiento de la calidad de los alimentos. Este mayor interés se ha intensificado debido a las preocupaciones sobre los recursos naturales limitados de la reserva de combustibles fósiles y el impacto ambiental causado por el uso de materiales de embalaje a base de plástico no biodegradables. La demanda de productos renovables y biodegradables se ha convertido en una estrategia importante en el esfuerzo por reducir el impacto contaminante de los envases en el medio ambiente. Para superar este problema, se puede utilizar un enfoque de recubrimiento comestible en el que los biopolímeros surjan como posibles reemplazos de los materiales de envasado a base de petróleo. Conocidos como “plásticos verdes” o bioplásticos, están hechos de polímeros biodegradables como almidones, celulosa, alginato de sodio, entre otros, y se están realizando numerosos estudios para investigar la capacidad de los recubrimientos comestibles para preservar la calidad y prolongar la vida útil de las frutas y hortalizas frescas al actuar regulando las actividades metabólicas de las frutas además de la adición de principios activos que interactúan con el producto.Até recentemente, o sabor e a aparência eram os mais importantes atributos de frutas e outros vegetais frescos, mas, atualmente, os consumidores estão mais preocupados com a segurança de alimentos e os valores nutricionais, exigindo o uso de menos produtos químicos em frutas e vegetais. Nesse contexto, muita atenção tem sido dada à busca de substâncias naturais capazes de agir como antimicrobianos e antioxidantes sendo uma alternativa aos produtos utilizados na nanutenção da qualidade dos alimentos. Este aumento do interesse foi intensificado devido às preocupações sobre os recursos naturais limitados da reserva de combustível fóssil e o impacto ambiental causado pelo uso de materiais de embalagem à base de plástico não biodegradáveis. A demanda por produtos renováveis e biodegradáveis tornou-se uma estratégia importante no esforço para reduzir o impacto poluidor das embalagens no meio ambiente. Para superar este problema, pode-se utilizar uma abordagem de revestimento comestível onde os biopolímeros emergem como possíveis substitutos para materiais de embalagem à base de petróleo. Conhecidos como “plásticos verdes” ou bioplásticos eles são oriundos de polímeros biodegradáveis como amidos, celulose, alginato de sódio dentre outros, com numerosos estudos sendo conduzidos para investigar a capacidade de coberturas comestíveis afim de preservar a qualidade e prolongar a vida útil de frutas e hortaliças frescas ao agirem regulando as atividades metabólicas dos frutos além da adição de ingredientes ativos que interagem com o produto.
