Biocontrol of postharvest blue mold in pear fruit by Hanseniaspora uvarum Y22: Antifungal mechanisms involving mycoparasitism and volatile organic compounds.

Pear fruit is susceptible to Penicillium expansum infection after harvest, leading to blue mold disease, which causes significant economic and safety concerns. This study evaluated the biocontrol potential of Hanseniaspora uvarum Y22, an antagonistic yeast isolated from organic farm soil, against blue mold in pear frui...

Kojic acid attenuates tomato soft rot caused by Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum through quorum quenching.

Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum (Pcc) is the causal agent of bacterial soft rot disease, which triggers rapid decay of infected tomato fruit. Kojic acid, primarily a fermentation metabolite of Aspergillus oryzae, exhibits biocontrol activity against postharvest soft rot of tomato. In this work, we investi...

Postharvest biocontrol agents in fruits and vegetables: mechanisms, applications, challenges, and future perspectives

Postharvest losses of horticultural produce, primarily due to microbial decay, remain a major challenge to global food security, accounting for 35–50% of production annually. To control this, overuse of synthetic fungicides has led to pathogen resistance, environmental contamination, and health concerns, prompting a sh...
