“…Finding alternatives that are widely accepted and commercially viable has been a challenge [14]. Alternative methods to fungicide treatments include the application of physical treatments, generally recognized as safe (GRAS) compounds, biological control agents and natural antimicrobial compounds.…”

Citrus is a fruit crop grown in different Mediterranean countries. Generally, harvested fruits are used for fresh consumption or are processed (mainly to produce juices). In this chapter, the authors discuss the state of art on citrus postharvest with a scientific approach, evaluating the current knowledge about the physiology and pathology of citrus fruits and the main causes of deterioration. In addition, the authors explain the main facilities for the cold storage of citrus fruit with particular reference to the rapid-cooling techniques and treatments needed prior to shipment of citrus fruits (refer shipment). In the last part of the chapter, the non-destructive methods for the quality evaluation are presented.

“…Moreover, the production of patulin by P. expansum in infected apple fruit is harmful to human beings, including cytotoxic, genotoxic and immunotoxic effects . Numerous effective synthetic fungicides are limited with respect to their use in the postharvest disease control of fruits and vegetables as a result of pathogen resistance to fungicides, as well as food safety and environmental problems . Therefore, new safety strategies are needed for controlling postharvest diseases in fruits and vegetables …”

“…Biocontrol methods, which are a means of controlling pathogens by the use of living organisms such as harmless microbes, have been used to minimize the use of agrochemicals given their toll on the environment and human health. In fact, the motivation to work on biocontrol methods was strengthened by a report of the US National Research Council that highlighted oncogenic risk among all pesticides . While the detrimental effects of pesticide exposure are generally known, not all of them are well defined.…”

“…For instance, there is compelling evidence suggesting an association between agrochemical use and cardiovascular disease . There is also an increasing number of fungicide‐resistant organisms . As a result, different countries have enforced regulations on pesticide usage on fresh produce, resulting in the need to develop rapid techniques to analyze residues …”

A multifaceted approach to harness probiotics as antagonists on plant based foods, for enhanced benefits to be reaped at a global level

Investigations into probiotics have focused on their health benefits thus far, with some of the findings finally reaching the food and pharmaceutical industries, which have used them for commercial purposes. In biocontrol research some microbes, mainly isolated from plants, have shown antagonism towards both enteric and plant pathogens, and some of them represent probiotic species. Fresh fruits and vegetables are regarded as health-promoting dietary constituents, and if probiotics could be used to control the pathogens on them then they could turn out to be even healthier. The fresh produce industry still depends on agrochemicals and the increase in the demand for high-priced organically grown produce indicates consumer concerns regarding the use of agrochemicals. If the potential of probiotic organisms to serve as biocontrol agents for fresh produce is exploited, all fresh produce can be made as safe as organically grown produce, and much more wholesome. This review appraises the feasibility of such a move by evaluating how research has progressed in both disciplines (probiotic and biocontrol) and suggests sharing results from research via information technology, efficient collaboration, and the use of novel molecular biological tools to achieve the objective of probiotic antagonists. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry.
