Fruit spoilage is a common problem caused by oxidation, microbial growth and moisture loss, leading to food waste. This project developed a Natural Fruit Preservation Spray made from natural ingredients with antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. The spray is designed to slow microbial growth, reduce oxidation and form a thin protective layer on the fruit surface to maintain freshness. To test its effectiveness, cut apples were divided into sprayed and unsprayed groups. After three days, the unsprayed apple showed more browning, softness, dryness and shrinkage, while the sprayed apple remained fresher, firmer and closer to its original colour. The results suggest that the spray can help delay fruit deterioration.
