[EN] The use of biocontrol agents (BCA) for controlling plant diseases is an alternative to reduce the use of
pesticides. Their performance can be improved when applied in combination with coatings. Films and
coatings formulated from different biopolymers were characterized as to their barrier and optical
properties to analyse their impact on fruit when applied as carriers of the BCA Candida sake CPA-1. The
properties of the film-forming dispersions were more affected by the type of polymer than by the
incorporation of surfactants. Sodium caseinate formed the thickest coatings, but these were very thin in
every case, which led to there being no predicted relevant effect on the gas exchanges of the fruit. The
cell viability in the films was good during film drying, especially in the case of protein films; however, it
decreased after storage.[-]
