These technologies positively affect the entire value chain of fruit production. Some milestones include: “Fine tuning of hexanal based post-harvest treatments including dip treatment for banana and grapes, vapor treatment, and feasibility studies in mango, banana, grapes and tender fruits and hexanal infused biowax” … “Though some delays due to season, crop failures and non-availability of hexanal in Africa, everyone caught up and archived their targets for nanotechnology approaches for ‘smart packaging systems’…”application/pdfenTIMELINEAGRICULTURAL INNOVATIONHEXANALLICENSINGFRUITSPRESERVATIVESNANOTECHNOLOGYSHELF LIFEFOOD STORAGESOUTH ASIASOUTH OF SAHARACARIBBEANPolicy Brief
