MUMBAI, India, July 31 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202411095483 A) filed by Lovely Professional University on December 04, 2024, for Reviving Guava Freshness: Power Of Nano Chitosan And Silicon Dioxide.

Inventors include Arun Kumar; and Jatinder Singh.

The application for the patent was published on July 24, 2026, under issue no. 30/2026.

Abstract: The invention presents a novel method for preserving guava fruits using a nano-coating composed of nano chitosan, nano sodium alginate, and nano silicon dioxide. This coating is applied to the surface of the fruits through a simple dipping method, followed by air drying. The resulting thin protective layer enhances the shelf life of guavas by reducing firmness loss, decay rates, and moisture loss. Additionally, the coating preserves essential nutrients such as total sugars, ascorbic acid, and antioxidants, maintaining the fruit’s nutritional value during storage. This innovative approach provides a sustainable, eco-friendly solution for food preservation, with potential applications in the broader agricultural and food industry for perishable products.
