Control of citrus blue mold, caused by Penicillium italicum, was evaluated on artificially inoculated oranges immersed in water at up to 75°C for 150 s; 2 4% sodium carbonate (wt/vol) 20 or 45°C 60 1 bicarbonate room temperature s, followed storage 20°C 7 days. Hot controlled mold 50 55°C, temperatures near those that injured fruit, and its effectiveness declined after 14 days storage. Sodium were superior hot water. Temperature solutions influenced more than concentration immersion period....
Purpose of review:This article reviews research based on the evaluation postharvest control methods alternative to conventional chemical fungicides for citrus green and blue moulds, caused by pathogens Penicillium digitatum P. italicum, respectively.Emphasis is given advances developed during last few years.Potential benefits, disadvantages commercial feasibility application these are discussed.Findings: Substantial progress has been accomplished in selecting characterising new effective...
Abstract Plants use volatile terpene compounds as odor cues for communicating with the environment. Fleshy fruits are particularly rich in volatiles that deter herbivores and attract seed dispersal agents. We have investigated how terpenes citrus fruit peels affect interaction between plant, insects, microorganisms. Because limonene represents up to 97% of total orange (Citrus sinensis) peel, we chose down-regulate expression a synthase gene plants by introducing an antisense construct this...
Control of postharvest diseases fresh fruits has relied for many years on the continuous use conventional chemical fungicides. However, nonpolluting alternatives are increasingly needed because human health and environmental issues related to generation residues. Low-toxicity chemicals classified as food preservatives or generally recognized safe (GRAS) compounds have known very low toxicological effects mammals minimal impact environment. Among them, inorganic organic salts such carbonates,...
The effects of gaseous ozone exposure on in vitro growth Penicillium digitatum and italicum development postharvest green blue molds artificially inoculated citrus fruit were evaluated. Valencia oranges continuously exposed to 0.3 ± 0.05 ppm(vol/vol) at 5°C for 4 weeks. Eureka lemons an intermittent day-night cycle (0.3 0.01 ppm only night) a commercial cold storage room 4.5°C 9 Both 1.0 10°C export container 2 Exposure did not reduce final incidence or mold, although both diseases was...
Abstract The effectiveness of low‐toxicity chemicals as possible alternatives to synthetic fungicides for the control post‐harvest green and blue moulds citrus was evaluated. A preliminary selection chemicals, mostly common food additives, made through in vivo primary screenings with oranges artificially inoculated Penicillium digitatum or P italicum . Selected compounds mixtures were tested heated solutions small‐scale trials. Immersion lemons 120 s at 40.6 °C natural pH potassium sorbate...
Starch–gellan (80:20) coating formulations were applied to apples and persimmons analyse their effectiveness controlling the weight loss, respiration rate, fruit firmness, fungal decay during postharvest. Thyme essential oil (EO) was incorporated (0.25 0.5 g per of polymer) directly or encapsulated in lecithin enhance antifungal action. Coatings did not reduce loss firmness changes apples, but they prevented water persimmons. In contrast, no significant effect coatings observed on rates...
Plum (Prunus domestica L.) has a short shelf-life period due to its high respiration rate and is sensitive low storage temperatures, which can lead the appearance of chilling injury symptoms. In this investigation, we applied new coating treatments based on chitosan (CTS) arginine (Arg) plum fruit (cv. 'Stanley').Fruit were treated with distilled water (control), Arg at 0.25 0.5 mM, CTS 1% (w/v) or Arg-coated nanoparticles (CTS-Arg NPs) (w/v), then stored 1 °C for days. The application...
