Effect of ozone in combination with some organic acids on the control of postharvest decay and pericarp browning of longan fruit

Effect of thermal and non thermal processing technologies on the bioactive content of exotic fruits and their products: Review of recent advances

“…Ozone as an antimicrobial agent has numerous potential applications in the food industry because of its advantages over traditional antimicrobial agents such as chlorine, potassium sorbates, etc. The use of ozone application for the disinfection or storage of various exotic fruits or their products including kiwi fruits has been reported (Akbas & Ozdemir, 2008;Barboni et al, 2010;Graham & Tyman, 2002;Hur et al, 2005;Meyvaci, Sen, & Aksoy, 2010;Oztekin, Zorlugenc, & Zorlugenc, 2006;Whangchai, Saengnil, & Uthaibutra, 2006;Zorlugenc, Zorlugenc, Oztekin, & Evliya, 2008). However, most of the reported studies are limited to microbiological analysis of exotic fruits.…”

Dynamics (seasonal and intra-diurnal) of air-borne fungal spore population of Doha area, Qatar

“…On the other hand the concentration of fungal spores such as Cladosprium sp. can be significantly affected by high O3 concentration in which high O3 level is capable of killing microorganism by oxidizing their cellular component and cell walls as well (Das et al, 2006;Whangchai et al, 2006). A negative or no significant correlation between O3 and fungal spores in the air was demonstrated by Sousa et al (2008).…”

Postharvest Quality Maintenance of Longan Fruit by Ultra Violet-C Incorporated with Salicylic Acid Application

“…is known as a nonclimacteric subtropical fruit native to China, Southeast Asia and Northeastern India. In Southeast Asia countries, longan is a commercially famous fruit and widely grown in Vietnam and north of Thailand (Nakason and Paull 1998;Whangchai et al, 2006). In Thailand, longan fruit is an important commercially fruit which is exported more than 415,000 tons per year (Anonymous, 2016).…”
