Summary

Three intermittent warming cycles of 1 day at 20 deg C every 6 days at 0.5 deg C and modified atmosphere packaging were applied. Fungicide treatment was ineffective in controlling growth of A. tenuis and Cladosporium spp. during storage. Modified atmosphere packaging prevented the growth of both fungal genera. Intermittent warming alone or combined with fungicide seemed to increase total colony forming unit counts and did not control decay.
