Beyond its economic impact, the management of postharvest diseases is linked to global efforts to reduce food losses and decrease reliance on synthetic agrochemicals, aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals related to responsible production. In this context, active coating-based strategies have emerged as promising alternatives to conventional fungicides. In this study, in vitro and in vivo experiments were conducted to evaluate the antifungal capabilities of an emulsion produced by mixing a chitosan solution with the major constituents of oregano (\n                    <jats:italic>Origanum vulgare)<\/jats:italic>\n                    essential oil - carvacrol, thymol, and\n                    <jats:italic>p-cymene<\/jats:italic>\n                    . We also treated postharvest oranges with this emulsion to evaluate. The physicochemical quality and defense enzyme activity. The formulated emulsion exhibited a broad oil droplet size distribution in the micrometric range and a good film-forming capacity. In vitro experiments demonstrated complete inhibition of colony formation at 0.25 \u00b5L mL\u207b\u00b9 and inhibition of mycelial growth at 3.00 \u00b5L mL\u207b\u00b9, whereas lower antifungal efficacy was observed in the vapor phase. When applied to orange fruit, the emulsion at 7.5 \u00b5L mL\u207b\u00b9 reduced disease severity. The treatment also maintained higher firmness values and more stable pH and color attributes at the evaluated sampling times. Changes in the activity of enzymes were also observed at specific sampling times following treatment. Overall, the results indicate that the emulsion is a promising alternative for controlling sour rot while preserving the postharvest quality of citrus fruits.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s42770-026-02125-1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,23]],"date-time":"2026-10-23T11:41:40Z","timestamp":1792755700000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Chitosan-based edible coating produced from an emulsion containing the major constituents of oregano essential oil for the control of sour rot in \u2018Lima\u2019 orange"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"57","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6547-5523","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Adriane Maria","family":"da Silva","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0834-3839","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniel","family":"Terao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5671-4411","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Itala Suzana Oliveira","family":"Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7745-0630","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marcos Augusto","family":"Bizeto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2988-1409","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fernanda Ferraz","family":"Camilo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1725-183X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sonia Claudia do Nascimento de","family":"Queiroz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9900-2350","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aline de Holanda Nunes","family":"Maia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2733-7573","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elke Simoni Dias","family":"Vilela","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1863-8849","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aldemir","family":"Chaim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8793-3185","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Juliana Aparecida","family":"Fracarolli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"2125_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1675","DOI":"10.3390\/molecules29071675","volume":"29","author":"P Nodola","year":"2024","unstructured":"Nodola P, Miya GM, Mazwi V et al (2024) Citrus limon Wastes from Part of the Eastern Cape Province in South Africa: Medicinal, Sustainable Agricultural, and Bio-Resource Potential.
