The present application describes an antimicrobial composition comprising lauric arginate ethyl ester (LAE) and hydrogen peroxide and the use of this composition for disinfecting and sanitizing different types of surfaces such as food products, human skin or mucosa and hard surfaces as well as a method of stabilizing the composition by including a sequestering agent (citrate salt and/or phosphate salt).

The present application describes an antimicrobial composition comprising lauric arginate ethyl ester (LAE) and hydrogen peroxide and the use of this composition for disinfecting and sanitizing different types of surfaces such as food products, human skin or mucosa and hard surfaces as well as a method of stabilizing the composition by including a sequestering agent (citrate salt and/or phosphate salt).

Disclosed herein are embodiments of a composition comprising at least one cellulose material (such as a cellulose nanomaterial) and an optional inorganic salt component. Some embodiments of the composition can further comprise additional components, with some embodiments further comprising a non-starch polysaccharide (e.g., methyl cellulose carboxymethyl cellulose or other cellulose derivative, chitosan, or the like), a surfactant, a plasticizer, an antimicrobial component, or any combination thereof. The disclosed compositions are useful for forming edible coatings/films on plants, plant parts, and other objects. The disclosed compositions and coatings/films made using the compositions are effective at protecting fresh and processed produce and other substances and products, from various different types of food processing damage (and the deleterious effects associated therewith).

Compositions for forming protective coatings on, e.g., agricultural products, can form a lamellar structure on the surface of the agricultural product that forms a barrier to, e.g., water and gas.

The invention provides a composition and smart packaging methods for extending the shelf life of the agricultural produces. The composition comprising active ingredients, which act as a signal molecule to activate a defense mechanism with a flower, greens, fruit, or vegetable. The product is designed in the desired form (like sachet, Spray, crate, covering paper, etc.), which includes the encapsulated powder of the active ingredient which is released in a sustained manner near the farm/agricultural produce. When the volatile active ingredient is released it slows down the ethylene biosynthesis pathway and restricts microbial growth of fresh produce without any expensive technologies (refrigeration) and harmful chemicals (toxic). It can be adopted to any stage of the fruits and vegetable supply chain.
