“…Effectiveness of alternative methods can be improved by the combination of different approaches, such as GRAS, physical methods, biocontrol agents and ultraviolet light [20,40,48]. This strategy could result in a synergic effect on disease control and two or more alternative approaches need to be combined to reach commercially acceptable effectiveness for postharvest decay control comparable to the synthetic fungicide treatments.…”

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.

“…Therefore, it is important to develop alternative methods for reducing the application of chemical fungicides. Previous studies have suggested application of salt, sodium bicarbonate, hydrogen peroxide, and essential oils, among other compounds, to control postharvest citrus diseases (Cerioni et al, 2012(Cerioni et al, , 2013Kouassi et al, 2012;Youssef et al, 2012). However, these methods have not been introduced in Japan because drying the surface of the fruits is time consuming and costly.…”

In the present study, we examined the effect of blue LED irradiation on production of phytoalexin scoparone in wounded satsuma mandarin fruit as a result of fungal infections, as well as the effect of tape-type blue LED on fruit decay during long-term storage (from December to April) in an actual storage room. The blue LED treatment reduced the rate of fruit decay compared to that of dark treatment in wounded fruits. The decay rate of LED irradiated fruit was 13.3%, while that of non-irradiated fruit was 51.1%. In wounded fruits, blue LED treatment resulted in significantly higher scoparone contents than dark treatment. Intact (non-wounded) fruits had low scoparone contents, irrespective of blue LED irradiation. In an examination of changes in total fruit decay rate during storage using tape type-blue LED, the total decay rate was not significantly different between the LED-treated and untreated fruits until 64 days after storage (36 days after starting LED irradiation). On the other hand, at 92 and 120 days after the start of storage, total fruit decay under blue LED treatment was significantly lower compared to the untreated control. The tape-type blue LED (10 μmol·m −2 ·s −1 ) did not affect either the fruit quality analyzed (soluble solid content, titratable acidity, specific gravity, percentage of flesh) or the rind color. These results indicate that blue light induces scoparone production in wounded satsuma mandarin, and because of this, along with other putative factors, tape-type blue LED irradiation reduces mandarin fruit decay during long-term storage.

“…Salt dipping or spraying have been widely investigated in this respect (Cerioni et al, 2012;Cerioni et al, 2013;Youssef et al, 2012). Cerioni et al (2012) reported the control of lemon green and blue molds by a combination of hydrogen peroxide followed by inorganic salt treatment.…”
