Fumigation of Fruit with Acetic Acid to Prevent Postharvest Decay
Acetic acid (AA) as a vapor at low concentrations was effective in preventing fruit decay by postharvest fungi. Fumigation with 2.7 or 5.4 mg AA/liter in air at 2 and 20C reduced germination of Botrytis cinerea Pers. and Penicillium expansum Link conidia to zero after they had been dried on 0.5-cm square pieces of dialysis tubing. Decay of ‘Golden Delicious’, ‘Red Delicious’, and ‘Spartan’ appl...
متن کاملAcetic Acid Fumigation of Fruit Storage Bins to Control Diapausing Codling Moth Larvae
Fumigation with glacial acetic acid (AA) vapor successfully kills post-harvest pathogens on tree fruits and berries and reduces their spoilage in storage. In this study, we investigated whether a similar approach could be implemented to eradicate diapausing larvae of the codling moth, Cydia pomonella (L.), from fruit harvest bins they commonly infest. In 24-h tests conducted in 0.023-m fumigati...
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...
متن کاملControl of Postharvest Decay of Apple Fruit with Candida saitoana and Induction of Defense Responses.
ABSTRACT The ability of Candida saitoana to induce systemic resistance in apple fruit against Botrytis cinerea was investigated. To separate the antagonistic activity of C. saitoana from its ability to induce resistance, the antagonist and the pathogen were applied in spatially separated wounds. In fresh apples, C. saitoana applied 0 or 24 h before inoculation with B. cinerea showed no effect o...
متن کاملPantothenic Acid and Acetic Acid Utilization in Tomato Fruit-set.
Fruit-set in the tomato has been shown to be dependent upon the presence of mature leaves (3). The nature of the nutritive materials supplied by the leaves has been studied by use of excised tomato flowers cultured on an agar medium to which various nutrients have been added. Of the organic acids tested, all those participating in the Krebs tricarboxylic acid cycle were found to be effective in...
