A: How Egyptian Scientists Made Hyani Dates Last 4X Longer — Natural, Edible & Gamma Powered!

📄 Description:

Welcome to For Science Salah Lotfy Channel!

In this episode, we explore a powerful scientific breakthrough from Egypt that could transform the global date industry. Researchers from the Egyptian Atomic Energy Authority and Ain Shams University developed a natural, edible, and biodegradable coating using PVA, chitosan, and tannic acid, then supercharged it with gamma irradiation.

The result?
Hyani dates stayed fresh 4 times longer, with weight loss reduced from 34% to 22.8%, and microbial spoilage dramatically controlled.
