Abstract:Introduction
The ripening of fleshy fruits is a developmental process that involves changes in color, texture, aroma, nutrients, and diversity of microbiomes. Some microorganisms, specially, bacteria and molds are responsible for postharvest spoilage of fruits. Thus, this study is aimed at evaluating the alterations in microbiome and physico-chemical properties of selected fruits at different ripening stages.
Methods
Totally, 108 fresh fruit samples of Musa paradisiaca, Citrus sinensis and Carica papaya at t… Show more
