Evaluation of physicochemical and antimicrobial properties of sericin-based formulations with the addition of Aloe vera for banana protection

Plastic banana bags mitigate post-harvest losses but generate >1 t of non-degradable waste per 1 000 t of fruit shipped. We developed fully bio-based coatings composed of silk sericin (1 or 2 % w/v) plasticized with glycerol (0 or 1 % w/w) and enriched with Aloe vera gel (0, 1 or 2 % w/w). Eight...
