Effectiveness of Postharvest Treatment with Chitosan to Control Citrus Green Mold
Control of green mold, caused by Penicillium digitatum, by fungicides raises several problems, such as emergence of resistant pathogens, as well as concerns about the environment and consumers’ health. As potential alternatives, the effects of chitosan on green mold disease and the quality attributes of citrus fruits were investigated. Fruits were wounded then treated with different concentrati...
متن کاملMini-review: Heat treatments for the control of citrus postharvest green mold caused by Penicillium digitatum
Postharvest green mold, caused by the pathogen Penicillium digitatum (Pers.:Fr.) Sacc., is the most economically important postharvest disease of citrus fruits in Spain, areas with Mediterranean climate, and citrus production areas worldwide characterized by low summer rainfall. Economic losses due to this disease have been typically reduced through the application of synthetic chemical fungici...
متن کاملIntegrated Approaches to Postharvest Disease Management in California Citrus Packinghouses
Practices in the citrus industry evolve rapidly to minimize postharvest decay losses, mostly a result of green mold or blue mold, caused by Penicillium digitatum or P. italicum, respectively. Current problems include the continued development of fungicide resistance among these pathogens, and compliance with emerging secondary residue standards and other privatized regulation of production and ...
متن کاملControl of citrus postharvest green mold and sour rot by potassium sorbate combined with heat and fungicides
Potassium sorbate (KS), a common food preservative, was evaluated to control postharvest decay of citrus fruit. Significant advantages of KS ver the commonly used sodium bicarbonate, which similarly improved fungicide performance, are the relatively low salt concentration of KS, the bsence of sodium, and its lower pH, so disposal of used KS solutions would raise fewer regulatory issues. The inf...
متن کاملControl of postharvest decay of citrus fruit with calcium polysulfide
Incidence of green mold of citrus, caused by Penicillium digitatum, was reduced by 80% or more by the immersion of lemons or oranges for 1–4 min in warm (40.6–43.3°C) ‘liquid lime-sulfur’ (LLS) solution that contained 0.75% (wt vol) calcium polysulfide. The incidence of sour rot, caused by Geotrichum citri-aurantii, was reduced 35–70% by this treatment. LLS was similar in effectiveness to other...
