“…The affected tomatoes were removed immediately before they affect other fruits in storage. The result obtained in 5 cm soil interspace was as a result of the application of salts of sodium (Nacl) showing decrease in fungi growth may be due to toxic nature of these compound on cellular metabolism of the fungi as suggested by [23]. However, higher values of fungal counts were recorded in 10 cm soil interspace when compared with 5 cm and 7 cm soil interspace (Table I).…”

“…It is observed that produce stored in cylindrical structures made with aluminium gave better results in texture especially with 10 cm soil interspace. This may be attributed to the use of table salt (Nacl) as wetting media which reduced the population of microorganisms feeding on the epicarp of stored produce; thus maintaining the firmness of the produce by reducing postharvest decay and improving their qualities by controlling the development of physiological disorder [28], [23]. The result obtained in 5 cm soil interspace was as a result of the application of salts of sodium (Nacl) showing decrease in fungi growth may be due to toxic nature of these compound on cellular metabolism of the fungi as suggested by [23].…”

Also, results analysis of variance (ANOVA) in Table 3 revealed a significant difference in the fungal counts in the values of vitamin E and lycopene contents in stored tomatoes.…”

Abstract-A study was conducted to study the Influence of salt solution and soil interspace on the total fungal counts of stored tomatoes in Cooling Structures. Three sets of four different types of passive evaporative cooling structures made of clay and aluminium. One set consists of four separate cooling chambers. Two cooling chambers were made with aluminium container (cylindrical and rectangular shapes) and the other two were made of clay container (cylindrical and rectangular). These four containers were separately inserted inside a bigger clays pot and inter-spaced with clay soil of 5 cm with the outside structure wrapped with jute sack. The other two sets followed the same pattern with interspacing of 7 cm and 10 cm respectively. The set with 7 cm interspace served as the control in which the interspace soil and the jute sack were wetted with water at room temperature. The other two sets were wetted with table salt solution. The fungal counts on the stored tomatoes were determined at interval for a period of sixteen days. The effects of the fungal counts on the weight and nutritional values of the produce were determined using ANOVA. Further analysis by DNMRT was carried out to compare the means. The total fungal counts of 13.7, 13.6, 13.0, 11.8 and 10.8 ppm were recorded for the tomatoes stored in 5 cm soil inter space while the total fungal counts of 13.7, 13.8, 12.7, 12.5 and 11.5 ppm were recorded in 7 cm soil interspace.while 14.3, 14.4, 13.4, 12.9 and 12.1 ppm were recorded in the 10 cm soil interspace.

Food safety is one of the major issues related to fresh fruit and vegetables. The preservation of the 'freshness' quality of these products is relevant due to their economical impact. This chapter is a comprehensive review of the use of essential oils from different sources and their constituents on the control of postharvest decay and overall quality preservation of fresh fruit and vegetables. An overview on the most significant postharvest diseases and their impact, as well as on the mainly used synthetic chemicals and their side-effects has been included. Emphasis has been on the sources of essential oils and their constituents studied up to now, and their effects on controlling postharvest diseases, either in vitro or in vivo, and their effect on overall quality and storage life of fresh commodities. Issues regarding their impact on human health and the environment have also been analysed.
