R. 1999. Control of postharvest gray mold rot of modified atmosphere packaged sweet cherries by fumigation with thymol and acetic acid. Can. J. Plant Sci. 79: 685-689. Hedelfingen sweet cherries (Prunus avium L.) were inoculated with spores of Botrytis cinerea and then fumigated with 30 mg L -1 of thymol, acetic acid, or ethanol for 25 min before sealing in modified atmosphere packages and placing into cold storage. After 10 wk of storage, thymol or acetic acid reduced gray mold rot of B. cinerea inoculated cherries from 36 to 0.5% or 6%, respectively. Ethanol was not effective in controlling gray mold rot. Sweet cherries inoculated with B. cinerea and fumigated with thymol had lower total soluble solids, higher titratable acidity and higher stem browning than other treated or non-treated cherries.Key words: Cherry, fumigation, modified atmosphere packaging, storage, Botrytis cinerea Chu, C.

J. Plant Sci. 79: 685-689. Des cerises douces Hedelfingen (Prunus avium L.) ont été ensemencées de spores de Botrytis cinerea, après quoi elles ont été fumigées pendant 25 minutes à raison de 30 mg L -1 au thymol, à l'acide acétique ou à l'éthanol, puis ensachées sous atmosphère modifiée, scellées et mises en entrepôt frigorifique. Après 10 semaines de conservation, les cerises contaminées traitées au thymol ou à l'acide acétique ne présentaient plus, respectivement, que 0,5 ou 6 % de pourriture grise contre 36 % pour les cerises non traitées. L'éthanol n'avait aucune efficacité contre la pourriture grise. Les cerises infectées puis fumigées au thymol avaient une moindre teneur en extrait soluble, une plus forte acidité titrable et un degré de brunissement pédonculaire plus prononcé que les cerises non traitées ou traitées avec les deux autres fumigants. Mots clés:Cerise, fumigation, emballage en atmosphère modifiée, entreposage, Botrytis cinereaThe postharvest life of sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) is limited due to rapid deterioration from fruit senescence, water loss, softening, stem browning and decay (Patterson 1982). Cherries are susceptible to postharvest decay caused by Botrytis cinerea,Alternaria alternata, Moniliniafructicola, Penicillium expansum and Rhizopus sp. (Meheriuk and McPhee 1984;Eckert and Ogawa 1988). Postharvest application of fungicides can minimize the incidence of decay, but frequent use may result in fungicide resistance. For example, Botrytis developed resistance to benomyl (Rosenberger and Meyer 1979;Spotts and Cervantes 1986).Acetic acid and ethanol are universal metabolic intermediates and occur naturally in many fruits (Nursten 1970). Sholberg and Gaunce (1995) found that low concentrations of acetic acid in air were extremely effective for controlling B. cinerea conidia on apple fruit, and did not have phytotoxic effect. also reported that acetic acid was an effective postharvest fumigant to d...

“…However, postharvest losses caused by fungal diseases are the major factor limiting the storage life of apples. Indeed, many pathogens including Botrytis cinerea (gray mold), Penicillium expansum (blue mold), and Rhizopus stolonifer (Rhizopus soft rot) reduce the market values and deteriorate the quality of fruits and render (Znini et al, 2011).Traditionally, chemical treatments, by the application of synthetic fungicides, are considered to be the most effective and cheapest method of controlling postharvest diseases (Eckert and Ogawa, 1988). However, the emergence of strains of pathogens resistant to these fungicides, as well as the growing concern for .…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate the antifungal activity of essential oil (EO) from Ammodaucus leucotrichus fruits against three phytopathogenic fungi causing the deterioration for apples, including Botrytis cinerea, Penicillium expansum and Rhizopus stolonifer by using the poisoned food (PF) and the volatile activity (VA) methods. The antifungal test results indicated that the EO displayed significant potential of antifungal activity against the tested phytopathogenic fungi (p<0.05). In PF technique, the MICs (minimums inhibitory concentrations) were 0.5 µL/mL for B. cinerea and P. expansum and 1 µL/mL for R. stolonifer. Whereas, in VA assay, the complete inhibition of the mycelial growth of B. cinerea and P. expansum was observed at MIC= 0.125 µL/mL air, and that of R. stolonifer was observed at MIC = 0.25 µL/mL air. The overall results suggest that A. leucotrichus essential oil have a potential as antifungal preservatives for the control of postharvest diseases of apple.

“…Harvested fruits and vegetables decay due to fungal infestation is the main cause of major losses in food production. Postharvest decay of fruits and vegetables can be traced to infections, occur either between flowering and fruit maturity or during harvesting and subsequent handling and storage (Eckert and Ogawa 1988) Trichoderma spp. is the most widely studied biocontrol agents (BCAs) against plant pathogens because of their ability to reduce the population of soil borne plant pathogens (Papavizas, 1985).…”
