use of propionic acid to control postharvest diseases in vegetables

摘要

Use of propionic acid to control postharvest diseases in vegetables describes the use of propionic acid to create a modified atmosphere that will control the growth of pathogens responsible for postharvest diseases, providing a longer shelf life for vegetables, and thus this invention relates to the agro-industrial technical sector. . The proposed technology lends itself to controlling the incidence and reduction of severity of disease caused by pathogens in vegetables, extending shelf life and minimizing losses of growers and distributors during cultivation, transportation and storage, thereby increasing the supply of vegetables. for the end consumer.
