Huge amounts of food are thrown away every year. Kitocoat reduces global food waste by extending the shelf life of fruits and vegetables. Based on KTH research, Kitocoat develops a biodegradable and edible coating. It has antimicrobial properties and acts as a barrier that keeps products fresh longer. Kitocoat's coating consists of layers of chitin, which creates a barrier against moisture, heat and other harmful factors. This natural and sustainable solution is effective for extending the shelf life of fruits and vegetables, while reducing the need for plastics.
