dc.description.abstractThis paper provides a synthesis of very positive results and milestones from various trials of hexanal on a variety of tropical fruit crops in five countries. Based on trial discoveries, a spray formulation with hexanal as the key ingredient (called Enhanced Freshness Formulation or EFF) was developed and safely tested on many fruit crops as a pre-harvest spray as well as a postharvest dip treatment. In mango and banana cultivation, hexanal use positively affected the entire value chain. It is a naturally occurring enzyme and safely extends the shelf life of fruit, with potentially huge impact on postharvest losses.en
