The present invention relates to the field of post-harvest treatment of crop, more particularly, the invention relates to compositions and methods for extending shelf life of harvested crop. The invention concerns use of cysteine and optionally, algae, antioxidants, antimicrobial agents and preservatives as the active ingredients capable of extending the shelf life of agriculture produce.

Process for forming controlled release antimicrobial salts that include a four-part mixture of (i) an antimicrobial cation, (ii) the anion of an organic acid, (iii) an ammonium, sodium or potassium cation and (iv) an anion such as a halide, acetate or gluconate, dissolved in a solvent so that a concentrate with dissociated controlled release antimicrobial ions is formed. Upon addition of water, controlled-release antimicrobial salt having a solubility in water at 20 C. of greater than about 0.001 (w/w) %, but less than about 1 (w/w) % are formed. Alternatively, a controlled release antimicrobial salt is formed in situ at a site of application containing moisture by addition of a concentrate having dissociated controlled release antimicrobial ions.
