Abstract

The article examines innovative technologies for storing food products based on chitosan biopolymers. The relevance of using environmentally safe coatings under increasingly stringent requirements for food quality and safety is substantiated. The physicochemical properties of chitosan that determine its effectiveness during storage are described. The mechanisms of action of chitosan coatings and their impact on product preservation are analyzed. The directions of practical application in various sectors of the food industry are presented. An assessmentof the economic efficiency of using chitosan-based preparations through the reduction of product losses and the extension of shelf life is carried out. It is established that the use of chitosan biopolymers is a promising direction for the development of food storage technologies under conditions of sustainable development.
