Natural plant-based gums and their derivatives are widely utilized in food industries, however, their applications as edible coatings to extend fresh fruits and vegetable shelf-life has been explored recently. These natural polymeric polysaccharides have many advantages as compared to synthetic polymers, because they are biodegradable, nontoxic, economical and easily available in the environment. Natural gums can also be semi synthetically modified to produce derivatives, which can easily compete with the synthetic preservatives available on the food market. In this review, the recent developments in the use of natural gums and their derivatives as edible coatings have been explored and discussed.
天然植物胶及其衍生物在食品工业中得到广泛应用，然而，它们作为可食用涂层以延长新鲜水果和蔬菜保质期的应用最近才被探索。与合成聚合物相比，这些天然聚合多糖有许多优点，因为它们可生物降解、无毒、经济且在环境中易于获取。天然胶也可以进行半合成改性以生产衍生物，这些衍生物能够轻松与食品市场上现有的合成防腐剂竞争。在这篇综述中，已对天然胶及其衍生物作为可食用涂层的最新应用进展进行了探索和讨论。
