Global analysis of the apple fruit microbiome: are all apples the same?
(Wiley, 2021-03-18)
We present the first worldwide study on the apple (Malus × domestica) fruit microbiome that examines questions regarding the composition and the assembly of microbial communities on and in apple fruit. ...
Ferulic acid application to control growth Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella enterica on fresh-cut apples and melon, and its effect in quality parameters
(Elsevier, 2022-01-13)
Listeria monocytogenes can grow under conditions at which fresh-cut fruit are stored, whereas Salmonella spp. has been associated with a number of outbreaks related to such products. It is therefore ...
Selection of a Probiotic for Its Potential for Developing a Synbiotic Peach and Grape Juice
(MDPI, 2024-01-22)
Due to recent interest in the potential of probiotics as health promoters and the impact of health and environmental concerns on eating habits, non-dairy probiotic food products are required. This study ...
Using plant growth‑promoting microorganisms (PGPMs) to improve plant development under in vitro culture conditions
(Springer, 2022-05-05)
Plant in vitro culture techniques are highly useful to obtain signifcant amounts of true-to-type and disease-free
plant materials. One of these techniques is clonal micropropagation which consists on ...
Effectiveness of a pomegranate peel extract (PGE) in reducing Listeria monocytogenes in vitro and on fresh-cut pear, apple and melon
(Springer, 2020-06-10)
Pomegranate peel extract (PGE) is a new promising natural alternative control substance with large spectrum of activity against wide range of pathogenic microorganisms. In the present study, PGE was ...
Milk Protein-Based Edible Films: Influence on Mechanical, Hydrodynamic, Optical and Antioxidant Properties
(MDPI, 2022-02-02)
Edible films are thin preformed layers that provide food protection against adverse envi‐ ronmental conditions. Despite milk proteins being functional ingredients that can provide interest‐ ing features ...

(Elsevier, 2020-03-13)
Ampelomyces quisqualis has been reported to be a promising biocontrol agent (BCA) against powdery mildew, and it has been commercialised as AQ10 Biofungicide®. However, isolated strains showed inconsistent ...
An innovative water-assisted UV-C disinfection system to improve the safety of strawberries frozen under cryogenic conditions
(Elsevier, 2021-08-12)
Strawberries inoculated with Salmonella enterica, Listeria monocytogenes (108 CFU/mL, 50 μL) and murine norovirus (MNV-1; 106 TCID50/mL, 50 μL), were washed for 2 min in a water-assisted UV-C light tank ...
Ethylene biosynthesis and response factors are differentially modulated during the interaction of peach petals with Monilinia laxa or Monilinia fructicola
(Elsevier, 2020-07-13)
Monilinia spp. may infect stone fruit at any growth stage, although susceptibility to brown rot depends on both host properties and climatological conditions. This said, no studies deciphering the host ...
Elucidating the involvement of ethylene and oxidative stress during on- and off-tree ripening of two pear cultivars with different ripening patterns
(Elsevier, 2020-08-21)
Scarce information is available about the ripening process of European pears attached and detached from the tree. Accordingly, this study aimed to investigate the physiological and biochemical processes ...
