Microbial Spoilage of Fruits: A Review on Causes and Prevention Methods (2020, background): “Yahaya and Mardiyya([49]) reported that fruits should be harvested during the cooler parts of the day to avoid excessive field heat, and they should be directly transferred into a shade.”
Biological control of postharvest diseases of fruits and vegetables by microbial antagonists: A review (2009, background): “Among dif- ll rights reserved. a). ferent biological approaches, use of the microbial antagonists like yeasts, fungi, and bacteria is quite promising and gaining popularity (Eckert and Ogawa, 1988; Droby et al., 1991; Wisniewski and Wilson, 1992; Droby, 2006; Korsten, 2006).”
Isolation and identification of some fruit spoilage fungi: Screening of plant cell wall degrading enzymes (2011, background): “It is estimated that about 20-25% of the harvested fruits are decayed by pathogens during post-harvest handling even in developed countries (Droby, 2006; Zhu, 2006).”
