Food safety is one of the important issues related to agricultural products with the ability to store such as fresh fruits. Many natural compounds are degradable and can be a safe compound for human health and the environment and an alternative to synthetic compounds. For this purpose, the effect of post-harvest application of carvacrol and nanocellulose (Car0.3%, Car0.6%, CNF0.5%, CNF1.5%, Car0.3+ CNF0.5%, Car0.6+ CNF0.5%, Car0.3+ CNF1.5% and Car0.6+ CNF1.5%) was evaluated on some characteristics of Physalis fruit at different times (0, 15, 30 and 45 days of storage). According to the results of the application of carvacrol treatment, on the 45th day the highest content of total phenol (33.64 mg/gr FW), TSS (18.6 °Brix), pH (3.88) and vitamin C (84.9 mg/100gr F.W) was obtained with the application of carvacrol treatment and the highest amount of total flavonoid content (0.52 mg/gr FW), antioxidant activity (86.56%), TCA (0.21 mg/100 ml) and carotenoid (336.18 µgr/g of fresh weight) was recorded in combined treatments of cellulose nanocomposite/Carvacrol. According to the results, the application of biodegradable coating of nanocellulose and carvacrol can be recommended as a safe strategy to prevent physiological disorders and maintain the quality of Physalis fruit without calyx.
