Use of the natural plant product, Hinokitiol, to extend shelf-life of peaches.

Hinokitiol (which is an extract of steam distillation of the root or trunk of Japanese cypress [Thujopsis dolabrata]) was used to control postharvest decay of peaches. The effective dose of hinokitiol that reduced fungal spore germination 50% (ED50) was 30.0, 14.7 and 18.1 micro g/ml, respectively, for Botrytis cinerea, Monilinia fructicola and Rhizopus oryzae. Hinokitiol killed M. fructicola spores at 20 micro g/ml and inhibited mycelial growth rate by 50% when compared with growth medium free of hinokitiol at 14.6, 17.3 and 39.7 micro g/ml for 2 isolates of M. fructicola and B. cinerea, respectively, Hinokitiol prevented decay of commercially harvested peaches in which 41.1% of the untreated fruit developed brown rot.
