dc.description.abstractPatents are pending for an innovative technique that uses nanotechnology to extend and optimize the use of hexanal to keep fruits fresh and firm longer. This project brief outlines next steps for a team of 35 men and women researchers, working with academic and industry leaders, to develop nine easy-to-use commercial products, including hexanal sprays and dips for pre- and post-harvest use. Government agencies, farmers, grower federations, and packaging companies from Asia, Africa, and the Caribbean are stepping up efforts to commercialize this technology and expand its use for a variety of fruits.en
