Self-assembled epigallocatechin gallate-cinnamaldehyde-arginine nanoparticles in chitosan coating prolong strawberry shelf life via antioxidant and antimicrobial activities.

Although chitosan (CS) is recognized as a promising material for food preservation, the performance of a single-component chitosan coating exhibits inherent limitation. Herein, novel epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG)-cinnamaldehyde-L-arginine nanoparti…
