How does Chitafood keep product fresh?Chitafood is a bio-polymer capable of forming edible coatings. Edible Coating is an invisible layer that can be made of polysaccharides / proteins / fats. This layer is able to become a barrier for oxygen to enter and be physically stressed so that food does not go bad/stale and prevents water in food from coming out so that the water content is maintained. The coating is also able to prevent the emergence of bacteria that can accelerate decay.
