Papers related to contamination and the state of microflora include such topics as the attachment of microorganisms to fresh produce and their internalization and infiltration, those on microbial spoilage include
bacterial soft rot and spoilage of juices and beverages by Alicyclobacillus, those on food safety include studies of products such as mushrooms, sprouts and melons, toxins such as patulin and the safety of minimally-processed fruits and vegetables, and papers on interventions include such topics as quality control, surface pasteurization, sanitizing treatments, nonthermal treatments and gas or vapor phase sanitation.
Bacterial soft rot can severely damage a wide variety of fruits and vegetables.
Assessing potato tubers for susceptibility to
bacterial soft rot (Erwinia carotovora subsp, atroseptica).
However, he notes, it's still unclear whether these gases are specific to
bacterial soft rot, since the team hasn't reported tests on any other type of tuber infection.
Some studies have shown that functioning communities of endophytes in plants contribute to their resistance to pathogens e.g., microbial endophytes in potato controlling
bacterial soft rot (Sturz et al., 1999).
In addition to peaches, they have used UV light to reduce black mold and
bacterial soft rots of onions; Fusarium and Rhizopus soft rots of sweet potatoes; black mold, gray mold, and Rhizopus rot of tomatoes; and green mold of tangerines.
