During fruit and vegetable storage phenolics are responsible for some effects on nutritional quality and disease resistance against storage pathogens. In vitro assays have shown that chlorogenic acid and ferulic acid were strong inhibitors of Fusarium oxysporum and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, respectively. Benzoic acid derivatives were shown to be the best inhibitors of Alternaria, Botrytis cinerea, Penicillium digitatum, S. sclerotiorum and F. oxysporum. It is suggested that changes in polyphenol activity are a possible mechanism for the browning reaction in non-mechanically damaged tissues during cold storage.
