Fruit rot caused by Aspergillus niger is a major postharvest problem in wood-apple, Feronia limonia Swingle (syns. F. elephantum Correa; Limonia acidissima L.; Schinus limonia L. [Rutaceae]). The effect of four Generally Recommended As Safe (GRAS) compounds-sodium bicarbonate, calcium chloride, citric acid and sodium benzoate-in different concentrations was evaluated on mycelium growth and spore germination. The effectiveness of the compounds was investigated on inoculated and naturally infected fruits. Sodium bicarbonate (4%) completely inhibited the mycelial growth and spore germination. Fruits that were first inoculated and then treated with 4% sodium bicarbonate, or the reverse, gave 53.6% and 98.4% disease reduction, respectively. Non-treated control fruits were diseased completely 3 days after inoculation. Sodium bicarbonate treatment on naturally infected fruits controlled the disease by 100% and extended the storage life up to 28 days at 27 +/- 2A degrees C and 65-70% r.h. Sensory attributes of the treated fruits did not change during storage.
