dc.description.abstractGermicidal effects of ultraviolet-C (UV-C) light on the postharvest wound pathogens of citrus fruits namely Penicillium digitatum and Penicillium italicum were investigated. P.digitatum and P.italicum spores were inoculated (4.00-4.50 log cfu/orange) onto Washington navel oranges (Citrus sinensis L. Osbeck cv Washington navel) by using wound and spot inoculation methods and subjected to eight different UV-C doses in the range of 0.26-15.84kJ/m2. Maximum reductions of 2.75 and 3.33 log cfu/orange of P.digitatum were obtained at the UV-C dose of 3.17kJ/m2 for spot and wound inoculation methods, respectively. P.italicum was more resistant than P.digitatum to UV-C treatments. The results suggest that UV-C treatments designed to reduce P.italicum spores will provide an adequate degree of protection against P.digitatum spores. UV-C light could be an alternative technique for the use of synthetic chemicals to reduce the development of postharvest pathogens of oranges. © 2015 Elsevier Ltd.en_US
