Microbial Spoilage of Fruits: A Review on Causes and Prevention Methods

Ping Zhao et al.

Summary: Fruit production and consumption are increasing due to the growing awareness of healthy nutrition. The quality and safety of fruits are crucial as they are prone to microbial deterioration. Spoilage microorganisms invade fruits during growth and post-harvest handling, often caused by physical damage to the fruit tissue. Fortunately, fruit spoilage can be prevented through commonly adopted methods and practices.

A systematic review of outdoor airborne fungal spore seasonality across Europe and the implications for health

Samuel Anees-Hill et al.

Summary: This systematic review analyzes the seasonality of outdoor fungal spores in Europe and its implications for health. The study found that Alternaria and Cladosporium were the most commonly reported genera, with longer seasons in Mediterranean regions. Meteorological variables and land-use were identified as the main factors influencing fungal seasonality. Further research is needed to address knowledge gaps and improve understanding and management strategies for fungal allergies.

Postharvest-induced microbiota remodeling increases fungal diversity in the phyllosphere mycobiota of broccoli florets

Min-Soo Kim et al.

Summary: This study identified core genera specific to the phyllosphere of broccoli, with fungal populations exceeding bacterial populations in both abundance and biodiversity. The variance in fungal communities between preharvest and postharvest samples was more significant than that of bacterial communities. Postharvest samples had higher species richness and evenness, with a lower Ascomycota-to-Basidiomycota ratio compared to preharvest samples. The fungal community plays a crucial role in postharvest microbiome of fresh vegetables, impacting storage and spoilage.

Ramune Staneviciene et al.

Summary: This study analyzed fungal communities associated with the carposphere of sour and sweet cherries, finding plant-dependent and postharvest handling-affected fungal assemblages. Some antagonistic yeasts showed pronounced activity against potential fungal pathogens and attractiveness for disease control.
