Abstract This study explores the biological synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using elicitors (ML) from the beneficial bacterium Bacillus G36 and evaluates their potential to enhance bioactive compound production...

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation has been considered a deleterious agent that living organisms must avoid. However, many of the acclimation changes elicited by UV induce a wide range of positive effects in plant physiology thr...

Botrytis cinerea is a ubiquitous fungus causing gray mold, the main postharvest disease in fruit, which implies important economic losses in agriculture. With growing concern over health and environmental effects of pest...

Senescence and degreening are the most important features that determine loss of quality during postharvest of broccoli. During senescence, chlorophylls are degraded with the purpose of avoiding presence of photoactive m...

Postharvest green and blue molds caused mainly by Penicillium digitatum and P. italicum conduce to economic losses in citrus production. Here, the potential antifungal activity of four lactobacilli strains was assessed a...

Fruit maturity stage at harvest influences the response to postharvest storage conditions and bioactive compounds content. In this work fruit from two purple eggplant cultivars (Monarca and Perla Negra) were harvested at...

Ca2+ and Si2+ treatments confer resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses in many fruits. In sweet cherries, Ca2+ improves shelf life extension during storage, but only CaCl2 is used. On the other hand, there is scarce i...

To estimate genetic and environmental effects on traits associated with garlic (Allium sativum L.) functional value and postharvest quality, the content of total organosulfur compounds, phenolics, and solids were determi...

Abstract The concerns of healthy diet and demand for natural products incite the rising interest for bee products in particular bee pollen (BP). In several studies, BP is mentioned as a noble natural product, highlightin...

Ethylene biosynthesis during postharvest ripening of tomato fruit is stimulated by the phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA). This research utilized mature green cherry tomato fruit to elucidate the molecular mechanism of SlA...

Vishniacozyma victoriae NPCC 1263 was selected for this work because of the active antagonistic effect over several fungi. A cheese whey powder (CWP) based medium for the maximum biomass production of biocontrol agent wa...

The microbiological quality of truffles produced in Argentina was evaluated by analyzing the bacteria and fungi associated with fresh ascomata, the fungi that developed after storage (15 days in domestic refrigerator and...

Food safety is one of the major issues related to fresh fruit and vegetables. Microbial growth is one of the most important causes of post-harvest fruit losses, being fungi the main causal agent associated with the post-...
