Abstract

Fresh fruits and vegetables are rich in nutrients, but prone to post-harvest deterioration such as water loss, ageing, and decay.Packaging is an important post-harvest commercialization method for fruits and vegetables, and plays an important role in extending their shelf life and maintaining their nutrition and safety.Functional nanofibers prepared using electrostatic spinning technology are receiving increasing attention due to their structural and functional advantages over traditional packaging materials.The use of nanofibers to encapsulate or modify functional ingredients and achieve antibacterial, antioxidant, and intelligent indication or response is a major advancement in food packaging technology, and its effectiveness in post-harvest preservation of fruits and vegetables is remarkable.This paper reviews the applications of electrospinning nanofibers in different food packaging fields, focusing on the research progress and problems, faced in the development of nanofibers for fruits and vegetables packaging and preservation, and provides an outlook on their future development, with a view to providing theoretical references for the industrial application of fruits and vegetables packaging and preservation.
