Citrus fruit coatings

Oxidized polyethylene waxes are used as coating agents for citrus fruits (and other fruits such as melons or pineapples). The protective wax prevents the fruit from drying out, keeps it fresh longer, and preserves a more attractive appearance. As food additives oxidized polyethylene waxes bear the number E 914.
