The mechanical, water barrier and optical properties of films were tested. Also, the physicochemical, sensorial and microbial properties of strawberries coated with different film forming solutions (FFS)were studied during storage time. The films were less rigid and more stretchable after the addition of both EOs into the film matrix. The water vapor permeability (WVP), solubility, and brightness of films were decreased after the incorporation of both EOs. Coated strawberries with CMC-based coatings embedded OEO and REO indicated lower weight loss, better preservation of firmness, sugar content, total soluble solids (TSS), and total phenolic compounds. Moreover, a complete inhibition of microbial growth was observed in coated strawberries containing OEO, and REO. The sensory evaluation showed a high acceptance of coated strawberries compared to the control. As a result, these coatings can effectively improve the quality of strawberries during storage and are a good choice for coating fruits due to their transparent and shiny appearance with superior antimicrobial properties.
