Abstract
The present disclosure relates to compositions including monoglycerides and alkyl esters of fatty acids. An exemplary embodiment includes about 15 wt % to about 99 wt % of one or more monoglycerides of a C4-C28 fatty acid, and about 1 wt % to about 75 wt % of one or more alkyl esters of a C8-C20 fatty acid.
Claims20
A composition comprising:
- one or more monoglycerides of a C4-C28 fatty acid, present in a total amount of about 10 wt % to about 90 wt % of the composition;
- and
- a lecithin, present in an amount of about 10 wt % to about 90 wt % of the composition.
A composition comprising:
- one or more monoglycerides of a C4-C28 fatty acid;
- one or more alkyl esters of a C4-C28 fatty acid;
- and
- a lecithin;
- wherein:
- a ratio of a total mass of the one or more monoglycerides to a total mass of the one or more alkyl esters is about 20:1 to about 1:1;
- and
- a ratio of a total mass of the one or more monoglycerides and the one or more alkyl esters to a total mass of the lecithin is about 10:1 to about 1:10.

A method of coating an agricultural product, the method comprising:
- contacting a surface of the agricultural product with a mixture comprising a coating agent and a solvent, wherein the coating agent comprises:
- one or more monoglycerides of a C4-C28 fatty acid;
- and
- a lecithin,
- wherein a ratio of a total mass of the one or more monoglycerides to a total mass of the lecithin is about 10:1 to about 1:10;
- and
- removing at least a portion of the solvent to form a coating on the surface of the agricultural product.
