Claim 17:
18. A coated agricultural product comprising a layer disposed on a surface of an agricultural product, wherein the layer is formed by:
treating a crosslinked polyester comprising polymerized mono- or polyhydroxy fatty acids with:
an acid or a base, and
an alcohol;

removing the acid or the base and the alcohol to yield a mixture comprising fatty acid esters;
purifying the mixture to isolate the fatty acid esters; and then
disposing the fatty acid esters on the surface of the agricultural product to yield the coated agricultural product;
wherein the fatty acid esters comprise methyl 10,16-dihydroxyhexadecanoate, methyl 10,18-dihydroxyoctadecanoate, methyl 9,16-dihydroxyhexadecanoate, methyl 9,18-dihydroxyhexadecanoate, methyl 9,10,16-trihydroxyhexadecanoate, methyl 9,10,18-trihydroxyoctadecanoate, methyl 9,10-epoxy-16-hydroxyhexadecanoate, methyl 9,10-epoxy-18-hydroxyoctadecanoate, ethyl 16-hydroxyhexadecanoate, ethyl 9,16-dihydroxyhexadecanoate, ethyl 10,16-dihydroxyhexadecanoate, ethyl 18-hydroxyoctadecanoate, ethyl 18-hydroxy-(9Z)-octadec-9-enoate, ethyl 9,10-epoxy-18-hydroxyoctadecanoate, ethyl 9,10,18-trihydroxyoctadecanoate, 2,3-dihydroxypropyl 10,16-dihydroxyhexadecanoate, 2,3-dihydroxypropyl 10,18-dihydroxyoctadecanoate, 2,3-dihydroxypropyl 9,16-dihydroxyhexadecanoate, 2,3-dihydroxypropyl 9,18-dihydroxyhexadecanoate, 2,3-dihydroxypropyl 9,10,16-trihydroxyhexadecanoate, 2,3-dihydroxypropyl 9,10,18-trihydroxyoctadecanoate, 2,3-dihydroxypropyl 9,10-epoxy-16-hydroxyhexadecanoate, 2,3-dihydroxypropyl 9,10-epoxy-18-hydroxyoctadecanoate, 1,3-dihydroxypropan-2-yl 10,16-dihydroxyhexadecanoate, 1,3-dihydroxypropan-2-yl 10,18-dihydroxyoctadecanoate, 1,3-dihydroxypropan-2-yl 9,16-dihydroxyhexadecanoate, 1,3-dihydroxypropan-2-yl 9,18-dihydroxyhexadecanoate, 1,3-dihydroxypropan-2-yl 9,10,16-trihydroxyhexadecanoate, 1,3-dihydroxypropan-2-yl 9, 10,18-trihydroxyoctadecanoate, 1,3 -dihydroxypropan-2-yl 9, 10-epoxy-16-hydroxyhexadecanoate, 1,3 -dihydroxypropan-2-yl 9,10-epoxy-18-hydroxyoctadecanoate, or any combination thereof.
