A composition comprising:
- one or more monoglycerides of a C4-C28 fatty acid, present in a total amount of about 30 wt % to about 98 wt % of the composition;
- and
- one or more C8-C24 fatty alcohols, present in a total amount of about 1 wt % to about 50 wt % of the composition.
A mixture comprising:
- one or more monoglycerides of a C4-C28 fatty acid, present in a total amount of about 30 wt % to about 98 wt % of the mixture, and one or more C8-C24 fatty alcohols, present in a total amount of about 1 wt % to about 50 wt % of the mixture;
- or
- one or more monoglycerides of a C4-C28 fatty acid and one or more C8-C24 fatty alcohols, wherein a ratio of a total number of moles of the one or more monoglycerides to a total number of moles of the one or more fatty alcohols is about 40:1 to about 1:1;
- and
- a solvent.

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
- one or more C8-C24 fatty alcohols;
- wherein a ratio of a total number of moles of the one or more monoglycerides to a total number of moles of the one or fatty alcohols is about 40:1 to about 1:1;
