Fumigation of sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Bing') fruit with low molecular weight aldehydes for postharvest decay control.

Bing sweet cherries were inoculated with conidia of Penicillium expansum and then fumigated with acetaldehyde, propanal, butanal or pentanal vapours. Conidial germination was prevented at the higher concn of acetaldehyde, propanal and butanal, but extensive stem browning and fruit phytotoxicity also occurred. Stem browning was induced at lower aldehyde concn than fruit phytotoxicity. Treatment combinations (concn, exposure duration) were identified that minimized decay in the absence of fruit phytotoxicity, indicating a potential use of aldehyde fumigation for processing applications.
