Journal ArticleDOI
Chitosan as a potential natural compound to control pre and postharvest diseases of horticultural commodities
Silvia Bautista-Baños,A. N. Hernández-Lauzardo,M. G. Velázquez-del Valle,Mónica Hernández-López,E. Ait Barka,Elsa Bosquez-Molina,Charles L. Wilson +6 more
TL;DR: As a nontoxic biodegradable material, as well as an elicitor, chitosan has the potential to become a new class of plant protectant, assisting towards the goal of sustainable agriculture.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review on the use of essential oils for postharvest decay control and maintenance of fruit quality during storage
TL;DR: This review summarises the use of essential oils in the control of postharvest diseases of horticultural commodities, their mode of actions, effects on the defence mechanism and quality of fresh fruit.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of chitosan and plant extracts on growth of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, anthracnose levels and quality of papaya fruit
Silvia Bautista-Baños,Silvia Bautista-Baños,Mónica Hernández-López,Elsa Bosquez-Molina,Charles L. Wilson +4 more
TL;DR: Chitosan applications did not influence the content of total solid solubles or percentage weight loss during the storage of papaya fruit, however, there was a tendency toward greater firmness in fruit treated with the papaya seed extract alone or combined with chitOSan.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antifungal effects of chitosan with different molecular weights on in vitro development of Rhizopus stolonifer (Ehrenb.:Fr.) Vuill
A. N. Hernández-Lauzardo,Silvia Bautista-Baños,M. G. Velázquez-del Valle,M.G. Méndez-Montealvo,Mirna M. Sánchez-Rivera,Luis A. Bello-Pérez +5 more
TL;DR: The low molecular weight chitosan was more effective for inhibition of mycelial growth while the high molecular weight diazepam affected spore shape, sporulation and germination of Rhizopus stolonifer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Decay control in the postharvest system: Role of microbial and plant volatile organic compounds
TL;DR: A review of the application of microbial and plant volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to control postharvest decay, their practical applications in post-harvest systems and the future perspectives can be found in this article.
