Plant exudates are fluids or secretions emitted through different plant parts and have specific physical and biological characteristics depending on the species. (Manzoor, Arshied & Yousuf, Basharat & Pandith, Junaid & Ahmad, Saghir. (2023). Plant-derived active substances incorporated as antioxidant, antibacterial or antifungal components in coatings/films for food packaging applications.

A prosthetic group is a non-peptide organic molecule, inorganic ion, or organometallic complex that is bound to a polypeptide chain of a conjugated protein, either loosely or firmly. It can give the protein its overall functional properties and may include a metal ion or another non-protein group that is covalently bound to an enzyme's active site. (Taylor & Francis. 2025.
