Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an organic, water-soluble thixotropic composition for fungicide delivery and decay control in produce. The composition comprises at least one smectite clay, at least one self-assembling water-soluble polymer, a fungicide, and optionally an antioxidant. The composition exhibits controlled viscosity recovery, ensuring uniform application and fungicide bioavailability. It forms a thin, self-assembled water-soluble coating that prevents fungicide runoff and enables easy removal by washing, ensuring residue compliance with food safety standards. The composition is prepared by high-shear mixing and applied via a spray bar, dip tank, or brush bed system. Its biodegradability makes it suitable for organic produce, offering a sustainable alternative to wax-based coatings.
