چکیده Fruit and vegetables produced on the global scale are lost from 15% and 50% after harvest (FAO, 2011). Post harvest lost mainly due to microbiological spoilage and this percentage is greatly increased in developing countries like India and Iran, due to lack of space and technologies for storage (FAO, 2011; Kader, 2005). The susceptibility of fresh produce to postharvest diseases increases after harvest and during prolonged storage and some physiological and biochemical changes can favor the development of postharvest pathogens and incidence of postharvest diseases. Postharvest disease control for fruit and vegetable normally begin with synthetic agrochemical (pesticides). The adverse effects of synthetic agrochemicals on human health and the environment, and development of pesticide-resistant pathogens, have led to intensify the worldwide research efforts to develop alternative control strategies. Moreover, the current trend is more adaptation for green eco-friendly technology with the lower down the applications of synthetic content in food, to increase overall quality, and shelf life. Therefore a concrete solution needs to be in place which would be economical and safe. The aim of the present project is to developed nanoformulation of biodegradable nature for preventing post harvest losses in tomato potato and grapes.
