Effect of alternative postharvest control treatments on the storability of ‘Golden Delicious’ apples

Roberto Moscetti, Letizia Carletti, Danilo Monarca, Massimo Cecchini, more

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture > 93 > 11 > 2691 - 2697

BackgroundApples are subject to a high degree of fungal diseases, but the use of synthetic fungicides has been questioned because of public safety concerns, social rejection, and the development of resistance in pathogens. Thus, development of new postharvest treatments against apple fungal pathogens is necessary. Most studies have reported their effectiveness, but not all report the effects on the quality and storability of the fruit. In this study, the effects of physical (hot water), chemical (quercetin) and biological (yeast antagonist) microfungal control on the quality of ‘Golden Delicious’ apple during storage at 2 ± 0.5 °C, and 90 ± 2% of relative humidity, for 2 months were investigated and compared...
