UBC scientists develop a mixture that keep strawberries fresh
In an exciting advancement, scientists have created an edible seaweed coating that dramatically prolongs the freshness of fruits, particularly strawberries, even at room temperature—outperforming typical refrigeration. This innovative method not only safeguards vital nutrients but also possesses antibacterial features that benefit produce. By adopting this approach, we can significantly cut down on food waste and reduce environmental impact, offering a sustainable alternative to existing cold storage techniques.
