  • Banana quality : flavor volatiles under anaerobic and aerobic conditions

    Creator:
    Chantrachit, Theeranuch
    Abstract:
    Alcoholic off-flavor and accompanying volatile compounds produced by bananas (Cavendishii spp) held at 20°C and subjected to aerobic (air control treatment) or anaerobic conditions (nitrogen treatment) were compared by solid phase micro extraction (SPME), a newly developed method for volatile separation. In general, volatile production was suppressed under anaerobic conditions...

    Benbow, Jesse M.
    Abstract:
    Yeast biocontrol agents that were applied to 'Bose' and 'Anjou' pears in the field up to three weeks prior to harvest were found to survive on the fruit at high population levels on both pear varieties. Cryptococcus infirmo-miniatus, Cryptococcus laurentii, and Rhodotorula glutinis maintained populations averaging 5 x 10⁶ cfu/fruit...

  • Epiphytic yeasts isolated from apple leaves to control of gray and blue mold fruit rots of apple

    Creator:
    Falconi, Cesar E.
    Abstract:
    Eight phylloplane yeasts were isolated from backyard apple trees in Corvallis, OR. Yeast isolates were classified to genus or species level. All isolates were tested in vitro for antagonistic activity against the postharvest pathogens Botrytis cinerea and Penicillium expansum. Of these isolates, Aureobasidium pullulans, Sporobolomyces roseus Rhodotorula sp., consistently reduced...
