Summary

Hexanal vapour inhibited hyphal growth of Penicillium expansum and Botrytis cinerea on potato dextrose agar (PDA) and on minimally processed apple slices (cultivars Jonagold and Golden Delicious). Concentrations of hexanal that inhibited fungal growth on PDA also retarded decay lesion development on the apple slices. Hexanal was actively converted to aroma volatiles in the apple slices.
