The effect of thyme oil low-density polyethylene impregnated pellets (TO-LDPE-P) in polylactic acid (PLA) sachets was investigated for the control of anthracnose and retention of dietary phytochemicals, fatty acid composition, D-mannoheptulose sugar and fruit quality in ready-to-eat avocado fruit. The 10% TO-LDPE-P significantly reduced the incidence severity of anthracnose and enabled the retention of dietary phytochemicals (p-coumaric, ferulic and caffeic acid, catechin and epicatechin), fatty acids, mannoheptulose, fruit firmness and taste compared to the currently used prochloraz® fungicide treatment. The results of this study strongly suggest the incorporation of 10% TO-LDPE-P in PLA sachets in commercial avocado tray packs as a natural option to improve fruit health, dietary phytochemicals, fatty acid composition and consumer satisfaction.enColletotrichum gloeosporioidesD-mannoheptuloseHydroxybenzoic acid derivativesHydroxyl cinnamic acid derivativesOmega-9 fatty acidPersea americanaVolatile vapoursArticleBill, M., Kesavan Pillai, S., Tinyane, P., Ray, S.
