The effects of Penicillium digitatum and Fusarium oxysporum rots on nutritional content of pawpaw (Carica papaya L.).

Investigations were carried out on the effects of P. digitatum and F. oxysporum on the nutritional value of pawpaw collected from markets in the Lagos area of Nigeria. Decreases were observed in ash content, phosphorus, sodium, reducing sugars and ascorbic acid levels of fruits infected with P. digitatum, but increases in calcium and potassium content. In fruits infected by F. oxysporum, there were decreases in phosphorus, calcium, sodium ascorbic acid and reducing sugar levels; but the levels of ash content increased. The total protein level increased in the fruits infected with both fungi. The results reveal a reduction in fruit quality.
