Seaweed-based coating could keep strawberries fresh for days without refrigeration, study finds

Researchers at the University of British Columbia developed a seaweed-based coating that extended the shelf life of strawberries to four days without refrigeration, according to a study by the institution. The coating doubled the shelf life compared to uncoated strawberries under the same storage conditions. The research was conducted by UBC's team, though specific publication details and broader commercial applications remain pending.
