Polysaccharides from Hovenia dulcis: An Integrated Approach to Extraction, Characterization, and In Vivo Application
Bioactive polysaccharide-based edible coatings are promising strategies for maintaining postharvest fruit quality. This study aimed to extract and characterize crude polysaccharides from Brazilian Hovenia dulcis (HDPs-BR) and evaluate their potential as edible coatings, alone or combined with sodium alginate (SA) and e...
