e1“The dose of pulsed light (PL) that inhibited F. pallidoroseum growth in melons (Cucumis melo var. Spanish) was 9 KJ m-2”
e5“PL can thus be proposed as a postharvest technology to prevent chemical fungicides and may be applied to reduce the decay of melon quality during its export and storage”

Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect A pulsed light dose of 9 KJ m-2 inhibited F. pallidoroseum growth in melon.
- Intervention effect Pulsed light technology reduced postharvest disease in melons.
- Intervention effect Pulsed light upregulated the fruit biomarkers pipecolic acid, saponarin and orientin in melon.
- Mechanism The upregulated fruit biomarkers act as major markers of the melon defense system against pathogens.
- Recommendation Pulsed light may be applied to reduce the decay of melon quality during export and storage.
- Observation UPLC-QTOF analysis identified 12 compounds in melon.
