Use of acetic acid fumigation to reduce the potential for decay in harvested crops.

The use of acetic acid fumigation to control postharvest fungal pathogens of fruit and vegetable crops is briefly reviewed under the following headings: physical and biological properties of acetic acid; antimicrobial properties; fumigation of fruit with acetic acid; fumigation of seed with acetic acid; acetic acid fumigation of processed food; acetic acid fumigation combined with MAP (modified-atmosphere packaging); and conclusions. It is concluded that acetic acid fumigation is a viable alternative to sodium hypochlorite dips for sterilizing fruit surfaces.
