Continuous microwave treatment to control to control postharvest brown rot in stone fruit
(Elsevier B.V., 2013)Monilinia spp. are the most important causes of brown rot in stone fruit and no chemical fungicides are allowed in the European Union to be applied to stone fruit after harvest. From preliminary studies, microwave (MW) ... -
Antagonistic effect of Pseudomonas graminis CPA-7 against foodborne pathogens in fresh-cut apples under simulated commercial conditions
(Elsevier, 2013)Recently, we reported that the application of the strain CPA-7 of Pseudomonas graminis, previously isolated from apple, could reduce the population of foodborne pathogens on minimally processed (MP) apples and peaches under ... -
Candida sake CPA-1 and other biologically-based products as potential control strategies to reduce sour rot of grapes
(The Society for Applied Microbiology, 2013)Sour rot of grapes is becoming increasingly important disease in many winegrowing regions, while consistent chemical or biological control has not been reported. Authors evaluated relative incidence and severity of sour ... -
Combination of peracetic acid and hot water treatment to control postharvest brown rot on peaches and nectarines
(Elsevier B.V., 2013)Brown rot caused by Monilinia spp. is the most important postharvest disease of stone fruit. From preliminary studies, the combination of 0.25% hydrogen peroxide, 0.02% peracetic acid (PAA) and 0.075% acetic acid, corresponding ... -
Polyphenol composition, antioxidant capacity, and antimicrobial activity of the extracts obtained from industrial sour cherry pomace
(Elsevier B.V., 2013)Polyphenol extracts from industrial sour cherry pomaces were characterized on polyphenol composition, antioxidant capacity and antimicrobial activity. Extracts of pomace were purified and freeze-dried. Preparations were ... -
Biological control of Botrytis bunch rot in organic wine grapes with the yeast antagonist Candida sake CPA-1
(British Society for Plant Pathology, 2013)The aim of this research was to confirm the efficacy of the yeast antagonist Candida sake CPA-1 in suppressing botrytis bunch rot development, in an organic vineyard under Mediterranean conditions for two seasons, and ... -
Potential secondary inoculum sources of Botrytis cinerea and their influence on bunch rot development in dry Mediterranean climate vineyards
(Wiley, 2013)Epidemiological studies have described the life cycle of B. cinerea in vineyards. However, there is a lack of information on the several infection pathways and the quantitative relationships between secondary inoculum and ... -
Preharvest sprays and their effects on the postharvest quality of fruit
(Stewart Postharvest Review, 2013-10)Purpose of review: This paper reviews studies on the effects of preharvest spray treatments on the postharvest quality and storage potential of fruits, with the objective of summarising the main effects in each case and ... -
Survival of the biological control agent Candida sake CPA-1 on grapes under the influence of abiotic factors
(The Society for Applied Microbiology, 2014)AIMS: As reliability of preharvest applications of biological control agents (BCAs) to control fruit pathogens is highly dependent on the survival of the selected organism, this study aimed to describe the population ... -
Detection and quantification by PCR assay of the biocontrol agent Pantoea agglomerans CPA-2 on apples
(Elsevier B.V., 2014)The registration of biological control agents requires the development of monitoring systems to detect and quantify the agent in the environment Pantoea agglomerans CPA-2 is an effective biocontrol agent for postharvest ... -
Effectiveness of a bacteriophage in reducing Listeria monocytogenes on fresh-cut fruits and fruit juices.
(Elsevier Ltd., 2014)Listeria monocytogenes is a serious foodborne pathogen and new strategies to control it in food are needed. Among them, bacteriophages hold attributes that appear to be attractive. The objective of this study was to ... -
Development of PMA real-time PCR method to quantify viable cells of Pantoea agglomerans CPA-2, an antagonist to control the major postharvest diseases on oranges
(Elsevier B.V., 2014)Dilution plating is the quantification method commonly used to estimate the population level of postharvest biocontrol agents, but this method does not permit a distinction among introduced and indigenous strains. Recently, ... -
Suppression of Botrytis cinerea on necrotic grapevine tissues by early season applications of natural products and biological control agents
(Wiley, 2014)BACKGROUND: Necrotic tissues within grape (Vitisvinifera) bunches represent an important source of Botrytiscinerea inoculum for Botrytis bunch rot (BBR) at harvest in vineyards. This research quantified the incidence of ... -
Analysis of the time-dependent protein changes in wounded apples (Golden delicious).
(International Society for Horticultural Science, 2014)Malus × domestica Borkh."Golden Delicious" is one of the most important apple cultivars worldwide. However, if damaged, the fruit becomes susceptible to opportunistic infection by postharvest phytopathogens such as Botrytis ... -
Biological control of Botrytis bunch rot in Atlantic climate vineyards with Candida sake CPA-1 and its survival under limiting conditions of temperature and humidity
(Elsevier, 2014)Candida sake CPA-1 is an antagonistic yeast that has previously been shown to effectively control Botrytis bunch rot in grapes. The efficacy of biological control agents is dependent on their survival, which may also depend ... -
Biopreservation of fresh-cut melon using the strain Pseudomonas graminis CPA-7
(Elsevier B.V., 2014)The use of biopreservation is a promising technique to ensure microbial safety of fresh-cut produce. The objective of this work was to test the effectiveness of the strain CPA-7 of Pseudomonas graminis against a cocktail ... -
Comparative study of improved vs. traditional apple cultivars and their aptitude to be minimally processed as "ready to eat" apple wedges
(Elsevier, 2014)The development of fresh-cut apple products requires the reconsideration of cultivar selection because different characteristics are required compared with those characteristics for the fresh market. The aim of this work ... -
