This study aimed to develop an active biodegradable bio-based (polylactic acid/PLA) equilibrium modified atmosphere packaging (EMAP) containing a carvacrol-emitting sachet (created by poly-hydroxybutyrate) (PLA-PHB-CARV) extend the shelf-life of cherry tomatoes at 15 °C and 25 °C. Cherry in macro-perforated polypropylene (PP) films (mimicking commercial packaging) or PLA-based micro-perforated film without carvacrol (PLA) were also tested. Weight loss, decay, headspace gases, pH, titratable acidity (TA), total suspended solids (TSS), ripening index, color, texture, viable counts (TVC), sensory analysis performed. Decay was 40% PLA-PHB-CARV, 97% PP after 20 days PLA-PHB-CARV showed lower weight loss (
