Botrytis cinerea growth, ethylene, acetaldehyde and ethanol production in kiwifruit as influenced by short-term low-O2 and high-CO2 treatments at 0 and 10 deg C.

Author(s) : NIKLIS N., THANASSOULOPOULOS C., SFAKIOTAKIS E.

Summary

Short-term exposure in 100% N2 or 30% CO2 reduced fungal growth in vitro of kiwifruit infections during storage because the fruits produced high concentration of fermentation products, including acetaldehyde and ethanol. The exposure of the inoculated kiwifruit to low O2 or high CO2 reduced ethylene production which was induced by the fungus in the control fruit (21% O2) at 10 deg C.
