“…Chitosan edible coating on blackberries significantly inhibited the growth of Mucor racemosus [215]. The inhibitory efficiency of chitosan against B. cinerea, A. niger, and R. stolonifer was observed in grapes [216] and strawberries [217]. De Oliveira et al (2014) reported that chitosan inhibits spore germination, radial growth, and germ tube elongation and causes morphological changes in spores and hyphae of B. cinerea, P. expansum, and R. stolonifer in strawberries and grapes [218,219].…”

Sustainable agriculture requires factors to directly stimulate plant growth and induce the plant’s innate immune system to protect against stresses. Protection of plants is one of the main approaches to the supply of food resource. Furthermore, improved techniques for plant disease management must be environmentally sustainable, reliable, acceptable by society, and chemical-free to ensure sustainable food security. Although it is not possible to accurately determine postharvest losses due to diseases and physiological disorders, the use of proper harvesting and transportation methods that minimize damage to the product, along with optimal storage conditions that prevent the development of diseases, will be effective in reducing these postharvest losses. Since handling and storage conditions are potential threats for postharvest spoilage, it is necessary to identify environmentally friendly approaches and their precision mechanisms for postharvest disease management. Recently, biological control, non-chemical, and eco-friendly techniques have been investigated for this purpose.

“…On the other hand, chitosan nanoparticles have been reported to be effective in controlling the infection caused by phytopathogenic fungi such as Botrytis cinerea , Rhizopus stolonifer , and Aspergillus niger in strawberries under both in vivo and in vitro conditions. The nanoparticles produced had an average size of 331.1 nm (±7.21) with a narrow polydispersity index (0.377) and a zeta potential of +34 mV, which demonstrated the cationic character of the nanoparticles that contributed to reducing fungal infection by damaging cell morphology [ 82 ].…”

Fruits and vegetables are constantly affected by postharvest diseases, of which anthracnose is one of the most severe and is caused by diverse Colletotrichum species, mainly C. gloeosporioides. In the last few decades, chemical fungicides have been the primary approach to anthracnose control. However, recent trends and regulations have sought to limit the use of these substances. Greener management includes a group of sustainable alternatives that use natural substances and microorganisms to control postharvest fungi. This comprehensive review of contemporary research presents various sustainable alternatives to C. gloeosporioides postharvest control in vitro and in situ, ranging from the use of biopolymers, essential oils, and antagonistic microorganisms to cultivar resistance. Strategies such as encapsulation, biofilms, coatings, compounds secreted, antibiotics, and lytic enzyme production by microorganisms are revised. Finally, the potential effects of climate change on C. gloeosporioides and anthracnose disease are explored. Greener management can provide a possible replacement for the conventional approach of using chemical fungicides for anthracnose postharvest control. It presents diverse methodologies that are not mutually exclusive and can be in tune with the needs and interests of new consumers and the environment. Overall, developing or using these alternatives has strong potential for improving sustainability and addressing the challenges generated by climate change.

The study was designed to prepare an edible antifungal coating of orange peel essential oil and carnauba wax against Penicillium expansum in strawberry. Orange peel essential oil was extracted using water distillation and was used to develop coating with carnauba wax. Prepared coating was applied to strawberries using different concentrations of orange peel oil (To, T1, T2, T3, T4, and T5 for 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5%). The physicochemical, microbial, and sensory analyses were performed during storage. The weight of the strawberries decreased during storage. The firmness and microbial load were increased during storage. An increasing trend was observed for TSS, weight loss, and anthocyanin content. Minimum inhibitory concentration of orange peel oil was 0.35 μL/mL with 96% maximum growth inhibition against P. expansum. The coating materials did not exert negative effect on sensory characteristics. The sensory and keeping qualities were better as compare to the control. Comparatively, better results were observed for coated strawberries with T3 (3%) as best treatment. Practical application Postharvest losses resulted in 40%–50% wastage in globally produced fruits and vegetables. Edible coating is one of the methods that help to reduce spoilage of fresh fruits and vegetables. In this study, orange peel essential peel and carnauba wax have shown the potential to reduce fresh food losses in strawberry. OPEO coating extended the storage life of strawberry, while maintaining quality attributes of the fruits. Using the finding of this study, application of OPEO and carnauba wax edible coating to strawberry stored at ambient conditions can prevent mold growth on strawberry. This edible coating containing natural bioactive compounds can be used as an alternative to synthetic preservatives and can help to avoid cold storage expenses.
