TL;DR: In vitro testing indicated that Pichia caribbica can degrade patulin directly, and the higher the concentration of P. caribBica, the better the efficacy of the biocontrol.

TL;DR: The combined strategy of unconventional chemical compounds and other BCAs have contributed to varied degree of postharvest diseases control and efforts to upscale these methods to commercial implementation level must be given the necessary consideration.

TL;DR: The results provided a new insight into the biocontrol mechanism of the antagonist yeast in the pear fruit, and indicated that M. guilliermondii has the potential to inhibit pathogens in pears.

TL;DR: The application of ascorbic acid is a useful approach to improve oxidative stress tolerance of P. caribbica and its biocontrol efficacy on apples.

TL;DR: Various physical treatment methods used to enhance the bioefficacy of microbial agents against postharvest diseases of fruits and the possible mode of action were reviewed and the interrelationship between fungal virulence, host response and environmental factors that influence infection rate and production of mycotoxin was highlighted.
