The media is so full of the positive benefits of the fruit coating 'Apeel' but I am battling to find any scientific papers on how it was evaluated. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.
Hello dear, I really don't know the benefits of your article, but if there is interest, I can contribute to the research. Thanks
You may try with Google Scholar with the keywords viz., fruit coating and Apeel to get the list of papers published on this area.
