Antimicrobial materials can prevent microbial infection and affect the beauty and structure of
interior walls. Herein, a hybrid material silver/chitosan-sepiolite (Ag/5CTs-Sep) with …

Halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) are hollow tubular clay nanoparticles used as nanofillers to
remove or minimize the production of ethylene gas. The presence of ethylene gas leads to …

This study reported the development of a potassium permanganate-based ethylene
scavenger using halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) as an encapsulation material. Different …

Active sachets with antifungal effects and an C 2 H 4 scavenger were developed. Firstly, free
thymol (T) or encapsulated thymol (ET) was added at different dosages into sachets …

Produce is rapidly gaining market share worldwide. Ethylene is a gas molecule that causes
detrimental changes in produce. Thus, it is crucial to reduce surrounding ethylene besides …

The purpose of this research was to develop a novel ethylene scavenger by combining
pumice and potassium permanganate (KMnO 4) to preserve fruit and vegetables. The study …

After harvest, higher respiration rate in apricots limit their postharvest with extensive losses
