Colin Dennis; Jane E. Harris Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture 1979. doi:10.1002/jsfa.2740300708
Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Mucor piriformis infected strawberries caused complete breakdown of sulphited fruit samples.
- Intervention effect Rhizopus sexualis infected strawberries caused complete breakdown of sulphited fruit samples.
- Intervention effect R. stolonifer infected strawberries caused complete breakdown of sulphited fruit samples.
- Observation As little as 0.1 % Rhizopus sexualis infected tissue softened and broke down sulphited strawberries.
- Intervention effect Pectolytic filtrates from the first three fungi similarly broke down sulphited strawberries.
- Intervention effect Aureobasidium pullulans filtrates caused sulphited strawberry breakdown.
- Intervention effect Trichosporon pullulans filtrates caused sulphited strawberry breakdown.
- Intervention effect Cryptococcus albidus var. albidus filtrates caused sulphited strawberry breakdown.
- Mechanism The authors attributed fruit disintegration to fungal pectolytic enzymes, probably polygalacturonases.
- Intervention effect Botrytis cinerea infected berries did not soften or break down sulphited healthy fruit.
- Intervention effect Botrytis cinerea culture filtrates did not soften or break down sulphited healthy fruit.
