    This document describes a nanofiber-based sticker technology for extending the shelf life and enhancing the microbial safety of fresh fruits. The sticker uses electrostatic forces to produce nano-fiber stickers that provide a controlled release of hexanal and silver nanoparticles. This extends shelf life by 60%, reduces microbial spoilage by 40%, and retains nutrients by 20%. The technology addresses the problem of fruit and vegetable waste in India, estimated at over ₹1,52,000 crores annually due to the lack of low-cost preservation techniques. The startup, Kìmum Packaging Solutions, is currently at a technology readiness level of 2 and the intellectual property rights are nil.
