Control of postharvest gray mold rot of modified atmosphere packaged sweet cherries by fumigation with thymol and acetic acid.

Hedelfingen sweet cherries (Prunus avium) were inoculated with spores of Botrytis cinerea and then fumigated with 30 mg L-1 of thymol, acetic acid, or ethanol for 25 min before sealing in modified atmosphere packages and placing into cold storage. After 10 weeks of storage, thymol or acetic acid reduced grey mould rot of B. cinerea inoculated cherries from 36 to 0.5% or 6%, respectively. Ethanol was not effective in controlling grey mould rot. Sweet cherries inoculated with B. cinerea and fumigated with thymol had lower total soluble solids, higher titratable acidity and greater stem browning than other treated or non-treated cherries.
