Application of essential oils for postharvest control of stem end rot of mango fruits during storage
During screening of 14 essential oils against Botryodiplodia theobromae, geranium, mint, palmarosa, and thyme oils were found to exhibit absolute fungitoxic activity. The oils were subsequently standardised through physicochemical and fungitoxic properties. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of geranium, mint, palmarosa and thyme oil was found to be 200, 100, 100 and 50 ppm respectively. ...

Effect of storage conditions on physico–chemical attributes and physiological responses of 'milk' (Musa spp., AAB group) banana during fruit ripening
Knowledge of fruit physico–chemical properties and physiological responses is important for the design and development of appropriate postharvest handling and storage systems to reduce losses and maintain quality. The objective of this study was to investigate the changes in physico–chemical attributes and physiology of 'milk' banana cultivar at three ripening stages (unripe, fully ...
