The effect of carvacrol and methyl cinnamate vapors incorporated into strawberry puree edible filmson the postharvest quality of strawberry fruit (Fragaria × ananassa) was investigated. Fresh strawberrieswere packed in clamshells and kept at 10◦C for 10 days with 90% RH. Strawberry puree edible films,applied in the clamshell, served as carriers for the controlled release of natural antimicrobial compoundswithout direct contact with the fruit. Changes in weight loss, visible decay, firmness, surface color, totalsoluble solids content, total soluble phenolics content and antioxidant capacity of strawberries duringstorage were evaluated. A significant delay and reduction in the severity of visible decay was observedin fruit exposed to antimicrobial vapors. Carvacrol and methyl cinnamate vapors released from the filmshelped to maintain firmness and brightness of strawberries as compare to the untreated strawberries. Thenatural antimicrobial vapors also increased the total soluble phenolics content and antioxidant activityof fruit at the end of the storage period
