ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Synthetic fungicides are most commonly used for controlling postharvest disease of fruit, although they can cause the emergence of drug-resistant strains, environmental pollution and fruit safety issues. Bacillomycin D (BD), a novel antifungal lipopeptide, and chitosan (CTS) are applied for the preservation of cherry tomato.RESULTS:
The combination of BD and CTS showed an additive inhibition on the growth of Rhizopus stolonifer and Botrytis cinerea compared to that of its individual compound. In addition, BD + CTS reduced the incidence of soft rot and gray mold in cherry tomato caused by R. stolonifer and B. cinerea, respectively. Tomato treated with BD + CTS exhibited a lower weight loss and higher firmness and higher contents of total soluble solids, titratable acidity and ascorbic acid compared to those treated with sterile water (control). The kinetics models demonstrated that the shelf life of cherry tomato treated with BD + CTS could be extended by approximately 15 days longer than the control.CONCLUSION:
The utilization of BD + CTS provided a novel strategy for reducing postharvest fungal rot and maintaining the storage quality of cherry tomato. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.Palavras-chave
