Processamento mínimo, atmosfera modificada, produtos químicos e resfriamento no controle da podridão basal pós-colheita em frutos do coqueiro anão verde

Abstract: Fruits of coconut (Cocos nucifera) cultivated in Brazil for coconut milk consumption are highly susceptible to attack by the fungus Lasiodiplodia theobromae. Infection occurs still in the field as the pathogen remains quiescent in the plant. This study was undertaken to test several processing methods in order to avoid fruit deterioration. Fruits collected from a plantation with a record of severe disease outbreaks were cut at the basal region and treated with emulsions prepared from palm wax, alone and with f… Show more

“…As long as the production increases also increases the phytosanitary problems and postharvest stem-end rot on fruits caused by the fungus Lasiodiplodiatheobromae (Pat.) Griffon and Maubl, which has been the main cause of losses in the coconut marketing (Viana et al, 2008).…”

“…Once the fungus is located below coconut bracts, it causes an externally dry rot (Viana et al, 2002) while internally deteriorates mesocarp tissues causing cracks and exposing the liquid albumen (coconut water) to contamination and deterioration. There are no natural, synthetic or chemical products that provide an efficient control of this postharvest disease, although there are some indications of mechanical control for cooling fruits directed for exportation (Viana et al, 2008).…”
