The deterioration of the Carica papaya L. fruit caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides highlights importance postharvest packaging for extending shelf life. To this end, in present study, pectin/gelatin-based food (FPC) was enriched with Azadirachta indica hydroethanolic extract (HNE), obtained pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) and microwave-assisted (MAE). HNE showed a high concentration phenolic compounds, values 2893 mg GAE/100 g 3136 thickness incorporated (FPC + HNE) did not significantly differ HNE-PLE: 0.10 ± 0.01, FPC HNE-MAE: 0.16 0.04) from control (FPC: 0.11 0.00). Nevertheless, exhibited enhanced elongation 10.33 0.2%, 9.50 0.2%) compared to (8.00 0.0%). Variations water vapor permeability 5.2 g·mm/d·m2·kPa, 2.0 6.9 g·mm/d·m2·kPa) tensile strength 13.76 0.79 MPa, 16.45 2.25 9.24 2.01 MPa) were observed among all samples. HNE-PLE resulted 0% over 15 days. antifungal provides promising way reduce losses extend life fruit.
