Abstract
Postharvest fungal decay and water loss waste substantial fruit, while sulfur dioxide pads leave sulfite residues and perform unevenly across commodities. Herein, tannic acid (TA) was loaded into Poria cocos polysaccharide (PCP) hydrogel beads via hydrogen-bond assembly; salt porogen leaching with gradient annealing created interconnected, PCP-tuned pore channels. Pore sizes of 24.9–36.4 μm shifted release from Fickian to anomalous transport, and medium-porosity PTB-2 was selected for balanced release, high moisture sorption, and bead quality. PTB-2 achieved 97.4% cumulative TA release ( n = 0.55, R 2 = 0.998), and with headspace DPPH scavenging reaching 66.9% at 48 h, linearly correlated with released TA (R 2 = 0.982). Over 14 days, PTB-2 reduced grape decay to 19.2% (vs 76.7% control; UVASYS 14.2%) and cherry tomato decay to 21.3% (vs 58.6% control; UVASYS 53.1%), retaining anthocyanin and lycopene. This pore-tuned polyphenol platform offers a natural, broad-spectrum route to residue-minimized active fruit packaging.
