Conteúdo: 	During transport, distribution, and storage, fruits and vegetables suffer quality loss due to postharvest physiological reactions, such as respiration, maturation, ethylene production, and senescence. These reactions can lead to water loss, softening of tissues, color change, and degradation of nutrients, which usually depend on their physiological nature (climacteric and non-climacteric fruits), chemical composition, and surface structure. At the same time, along the distribution chain fruits and vegetables can suffer injury, triggering microbial growth, and reducing the shelf life of these perishable products (Mali and Grossmann 2003; Vu et al. 2011; Thakur et al. 2018). Although cold chain distribution is a way to minimize these reactions, this method may not be sufficient to mitigate quality losses of fruits and vegetables, prolong shelf life, and preserve sensory characteristics. Thus, the use of innovative technologies, such as nanotechnology, has been investigated to meet the needs of the market (Fakhouri et al. 2014; Rocha et al. 2019). Various studies have investigated the use of nanomaterials as technological tools to reduce postharvest deterioration. The use of nanoparticles has grown over the last few years due to their unique properties in relation to conventional materials at micro- and macro-scales. The protective properties of nanomaterials are due to their high surface area/volume ratio and their ability to incorporate biomolecules (Akhila et al. 2022; Pushparaj et al. 2022).
