    In this study, fungal contamination of plum tomato fruits (Solanum lycopersicum) was preliminarily examined by the dilution plating method. The tomato samples were highly contaminated by molds and yeasts (1.0x10<sup>5</sup>-1.4x10<sup>8</sup> CFU/g), including Aspergillus, Geotrichum, Penicillium, Rhizopus, Candida, Cryptococcus and Rhodotorula. The mold strains that contaminated the tomatoes to the greatest extent were Penicillium and Rhizopus. Three fungal isolates (Aspergillus niger T6D5, Candida guilliermondii T7D4 and Rhodotorula mucilaginosa T7D5) were selected for further in vitro study. Then, the antifungal activity of organic acids (citric and tartaric acids) and salts (potassium acetate, potassium metabisulfite and potassium sorbate) against molds and yeasts was investigated. Salt solutions showed higher inhibitory effects than did acid solutions. Interestingly, A. niger T6D5 showed the highest susceptibility to potassium sorbate and potassium metabisulfite at 0.01-1% (w/v) MIC, respectively, compared to other fungi. In yeasts, potassium metabisulfite effectively inhibited the growth of C. guilliermondii T7D4 and R. mucilaginosa T7D5 at 0.25% (w/v) MIC. The use of organic acids and salts to control the growth of A. niger T6D5 on tomatoes was investigated. Among all the salts and acids tested, 1% (w/v) potassium metabisulfite and 3% (w/v) potassium sorbate completely inhibited the growth of A. niger T6D5 on tomatoes.

    Control of postharvest fungal decay in papaya fruits by chitosan-carboxymethyl cellulose coating incorporated with essential oilsãnd potassium sorbate

    The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of plant essential oils in combination withãcid salts for development of edible coating formulations. Firstly,ãntifungalãctivities of cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum), clove (Syzygiumãromaticum),ãnd collaãromatica Roxb. (Homalomenaãromatica) oilsãndãcid salts (ammonium carbonate, potassium metabisulfite,ãnd potassium sorbate) were studied. Cinnamonãnd clove oilsãt 0.0125-0.2% minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) were effective to inhibit growth of Aspergillus flavus TISTR 3041, Penicillium citrinum TISTR 3437,ãnd 2 mold strains, Talaromyces sp. P2D4ãnd Aspergillus sp. P8A6 isolated from papaya fruits, while those salts showedãntifungalãctivityãt 0.5-8% MIC. Combination of cinnamon or clove oil with potassium sorbate showed the synergistic effectãgainst Talaromyces sp. P2D4. Effect of cinnamon or clove oil combined with potassium sorbate in 0.1% chitosanãnd 0.25% carboxymethyl cellulose (ChiCMC) coating on controlling postharvest fungal decay in papaya fruits during storageãt 30°C for 8 days was studied. Synergistic combinations of 0.0397% clove oil combined with 0.25% potassium sorbate, or 0.25% cinnamon oil combined with 1% potassium sorbate in the ChiCMC coating were effective to delay fungal decay in papaya fruits. At the end of storage, these coatings significantly showed less decay incidence (53.3-56.7%) compared toã control treatment (100% decay incidence). Thus, use of cinnamon or clove oil combined with potassium sorbate in the ChiCMC coating could potentially be used in the postharvest management for decay control in papaya fruits.
