dc.description.abstractThe natural spray called hexanal can prolong the shelf life of mangoes and delay ripening of fruit by two weeks. This article introduces and describes innovative hexanal-based preservative sprays and other nanotechnology. Trees that are treated with hexanal have increased yields. With techniques such as post-harvest dip (briefly dipping fruit in hexanal and water mix) and the use of stickers that release nano-particles in packaging, one of the farmers interviewed in the article has found that “even after being plucked, the fruit stays firm and fresh for weeks.”en
