Identification of fungal population in the environment and on surfaces of stone fruit packinghouses
(Springer Netherlands, 2017)In the present work, the fungal population present in the environment and on surfaces of equipment and facilities was determined and quantified in two stone fruit packinghouses during 2012 and 2013. The fungi present ... -
Impact of Pseudomonas graminis strain CPA-7 on respiration and ethylene production in fresh-cut ‘Golden delicious’ apple according to the maturity stage and the preservation strategy
(Elsevier, 2018)The effect of the biocontrol agent (BCA) Pseudomonas graminis CPA-7 on the accumulation of CO2 and ethylene (C2H4) in fresh-cut apples at two maturity stages was evaluated in refrigerated conditions. Factors involved in ... -
Improvement of microwave treatment with immersion of fruit in water to control brown rot in stone fruit
(Elsevier, 2014-12)Monilinia spp. are the most important cause of brown rot in stone fruit. Currently, no chemical fungicides are allowed in the European Union to be applied in stone fruit after harvest. Microwave (MW) treatments at 20 kW ... -
Influence of temperature on decay, mycelium development and sporodochia production caused by Monilinia fructicola and M. laxa on stone fruits
(Elsevier, 2017)Brown rot on peaches and nectarines caused by Monilinia spp. results in significant economic losses in Europe. Experiments were conducted to study the effects of temperature (0–33 °C) on the temporal dynamics of decay and ... -
Mode of action of a fatty acid-based natural product to control Botrytis cinerea in grapes
(The Society for Applied Microbiology, 2014)Aims: To investigate the efficacy and mode of action of the fatty acid-based product Foodcoat((R)) (FC) against Botrytis cinerea. Methods and Results: In vitro, in vivo and field experiments were carried out to investigate ... -
Molecular tools applied to identify and quantify the biocontrol agent Pantoea agglomerans CPA-2 in postharvest treatments on oranges
(Elsevier B.V., 2015)Pantoea agglomerans strain CPA-2 is an effective biocontrol agent (BCA) for postharvest diseases of citrus and pome fruit. To implement their use as a control strategy is necessary to study the traceability of BCAs in the ... -
Optimization of packaging and storage conditions of a freeze-dried Pantoea agglomerans formulations for controlling postharvest diseases in fruit
(Society for Applied Microbiology, 2014)AIMS: This study aimed to evaluate different packaging strategies to extend the shelf life of a freeze-dried formulation of the biocontrol agent Pantoea agglomerans strain CPA-2. METHODS AND RESULTS: Different materials ... -
Physiochemical and nutritional characteristics, bioaccessibility and sensory acceptance of baked crackers containing broccoli co‐products
(Wiley, 2018)The effects of the inclusion of broccoli co‐products into crackers on the bioaccessibility as well as their overall physical and nutritional quality were evaluated. Crackers were formulated using a 12.5 or 15.0% flour ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Pseudomonas graminis strain CPA-7 differentially modulates the oxidative response in fresh-cut ‘Golden delicious’ apple depending on the storage conditions
(Elsevier, 2018)The oxidative response in fresh-cut antioxidant-treated ‘Golden delicious’ apples during chilling storage was differentially modified by the biopreservative bacterium Pseudomonas graminis CPA-7 depending on the storage ... -
Relevance of the transcription factor PdSte12 in Penicillium digitatum conidiation and virulence during citrus fruit infection
(Elsevier B.V., 2016)Green mould, resulting from Penicillium digitatum, is the most important postharvest disease of citrus. In a previous study, the PdSte12 transcription factor gene was identified, and disruption mutants were obtained. In ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
