Effect of ozone and storage temperature on postharvest diseases and physiology of carrots (Daucus carota L.).

Author(s) : LIEW C. L., PRANGE R. K.

Type of article: Article

Summary

Two postharvest pathogens (Botrytis cinerea Pers. and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum de Bary) were investigated. A 50% reduction of daily growth rates of both fungi at the highest ozone concentration indicates that ozone was fungistatic. Carrot respiration rate, electrolyte leakage, and total colour differences increased with ozone concentration. Ozone-treated carrots were lighter and less intense in colour than control carrots.
