Abstract The effects of polylactic acid (PLA) film, PLA/bergamot essential oils (BEO) film, and PLA nanocomposite film (PLA/BEO/nano-TiO2 film and PLA/BEO/nano-TiO2+nano-Ag film) on the physicochemical and microbial quality of mangoes stored at room temperature for 15 days was evaluated. The measured properties of mangoes included weight loss, fruit firmness, color, total soluble solids content, total acidity, vitamin C, microbial property, and sensory quality. The weight loss of mangoes packed by PLA nanocomposite films was significantly (p
