“…The production of blackberries in the United States was 35,099 tons in 2005, which accounted for the highest portion of the worldwide production of blackberries (Strik, 2007). Unfortunately, the fragility and high post-harvest respiration rate of blackberries contributes significantly to their nutritional and microbiological deterioration, resulting in limited shelf-life and diminished quality and health benefits (Bower, 2007). Refrigerated storage is the most common practice used for fresh blackberry preservation (Antunes, Duarte, & De Souza, 2003;Perkins-Veazie, Collins, & Clark, 1999;Perkins-Veazie & Kalt, 2002).…”

“…Em framboesas, especificamente, a abertura da cavidade do receptáculo, após a colheita, facilita a contaminação por esses agentes. O mofo-cinzento, causado por Botrytis cinerea, e a podridão de Rhizopus, causada por Rhizopus stolonifer, são as doenças fúngicas mais comuns em pequenas frutas durante o armazenamento (Bower, 2007;Mitcham, 2007).…”

“…Assim, os fungicidas registrados no Ministério da Agricultura, Pecuária e Abastecimento (MAPA) para o controle do mofo-cinzento em morangos (Agrofit, 2011) também podem ser utilizados em framboesas. No entanto, a tendência atual é a substituição dos agrotóxicos convencionais por tratamentos alternativos que aliem segurança alimentar com sustentabilidade da agricultura (Bower, 2007).…”

Resumo -O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito de tratamentos pré-colheita sobre a ocorrência de podridões pós-colheita e sobre os atributos de qualidade de framboesas (Rubus idaeus L.) 'Heritage'. As frutas foram pulverizadas com um dos seguintes tratamentos: água destilada (controle), 6 g L -1 de quitosana, 100 mg L -1de dióxido de cloro, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, Curtobacterium pusillum ou Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Foram realizadas colheitas aos 3, 7 e 14 dias após a aplicação dos tratamentos. Após cada uma das colheitas, realizadas no estádio de maturação comercial (coloração rosa), as frutas foram inoculadas individualmente com suspensão de conídios (2x10 5 conídios mL -1 ) de Botrytis cinerea ou Rhizopus stolonifer. As frutas foram mantidas a 12±0,5ºC por sete dias e avaliadas quanto à incidência de podridões e quanto aos principais atributos de qualidade. Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, C. pusillum e S. cerevisiae proporcionaram menor área abaixo da curva de progresso da incidência das podridões por Botrytis e Rhizopus. Os agentes de controle biológico avaliados não interferem negativamente sobre os atributos de qualidade das frutas, e, portanto, são alternativas potenciais no controle de podridões pós-colheita de framboesas.Termos para indexação: Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, Curtobacterium pusillum, Rubus idaeus L., Saccharomyces cerevisiae, controle biológico, pequenas frutas, quitosana. Alternative control of raspberry postharvest decayAbstract -The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of pre-harvest treatments on post-harvest decay and on quality of 'Heritage' raspberries (Rubus idaeus L.). Fruit were sprayed with one of the following treatments: distilled water (control), 6 g L -1 of chitosan, 100 mg L -1 of chlorine dioxide solution, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, Curtobacterium pusillum or Saccharomyces cerevisiae suspensions. Harvest was done at 3, 7, and 14 days after spray treatment. After each harvest, at commercial maturity (when fruit were pink), fruit were individually inoculated with conidial suspension (2x10 5 conidia mL -1 ) of Botrytis cinerea or Rhizopus stolonifer. Fruit were kept at 12±0.5ºC for seven days and were evaluated for decay and main quality attributes. Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, C. pusillum, and S. cerevisiae provided smaller area under disease progress curve of decays caused by Botrytis and Rhizopus. The biological control agents evaluated do not adversely affect fruit quality attributes, and, therefore, are potential alternatives to control post-harvest decay of raspberries.Index terms: Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, Curtobacterium pusillum, Rubus idaeus L., Saccharomyces cerevisiae, biological control, berries, chitosan. IntroduçãoAs pequenas frutas são muito apreciadas por sua coloração, sabor, aroma e textura, e, mais recentemente, têm sido valorizadas pelos benefícios proporcionados à saúde, decorrentes dos elevados teores de antioxidantes, vitaminas, minerais, fibras, ácido fólico, entre outros (Zhao, 2007). As framboesas (Rubus idaeus L.) destacam-se po...

“…Half the blueberry production went towards exports, and the fresh packaged berries are the most important way to market these fruits. The fruit appearance, the fl avor and the high nutritive value are keys to successfully gaining the consumer's acceptability [Díaz et al, 2011;Duarte et al, 2009], and their maintenance during packing, storage and transport ensure that the berries display their maximum value and garner the highest market price at the time of sale [Bower, 2007]. Post-harvest loss in terms of value and consumer quality attributes can occur at any stage between harvest and consumption.…”

“…Packaging that adds extra benefi ts to a product can be an important preservation technique for retaining the post-harvest quality and extending the shelf life of blueberries [Junqueira- Gonçalves et al, 2013]. The types of packaging used for fresh horticultural produce handling include different materials such as wood crates, corrugated shipping boxes, polymeric fi lm pouches, bags, baskets, crates, trays, paper sheets, and pouches to respond to specifi c needs [Bower, 2007]. The new packaging attributes are associated with a lower environmental impact and they must include a selection of more renewable materials enhancing the effi ciency and energy consumption associated with sourcing, producing and converting packaging materials [Wikström et al, 2014].…”

The sustainability of packaging is an important part of food system innovation and it can infl uence the purchase decision for the fresh produce. In this work, we evaluated the qualitative performance and the consumer acceptability of three starch fi lms for the blueberry modifi ed atmosphere packaging (MAP) storage under fl uctuating temperatures. Fruits cv. Duke were monitored for up to 18 days (15 days at 1±1°C and 3 days at 20±1°C). The respiration rate of the blueberries and the permeability of the fi lms affect the initial atmospheric composition (0.2 kPa CO 2 and 21.2 kPa O 2 ) inside each package infl uencing the headspace gas composition and the quality parameters of the fruits. The F3 fi lm has better controlled O 2 values inside the packages up until the end of storage (5.7 kPa) and it maintained the highest anthocyanin content (156.21 mg C 3 G/100 g FW) and antioxidant capacity (22.18 Fe 2+ /kg) of fruits at 20±1°C.
