Abstract
Ethanol and potassium sorbate are common food additives with potent antimicrobial activity. The incidence of gray mold caused by B. cinerea, on detached berries of'Flame Seedless' grapes immersed for 30 s in water, 10 % and 20 % ethanol, and 0.5 % or 1.0 % potassium sorbate was 55.2 %, 42.1 %, 31.0 %, 37.7 %, or 24.4 %, respectively. Addition of 0.5 %and 1.0 % potassium sorbate to 10 %and 20 % ethanol reduced decay to 10 % or less and was more effective than either alone. After 30 days of storage at 1 °C, the combination of 20 % ethanol either with 0.5 % or 1.0 % potassium sorbate was equal in efficacy to commercial SO2 generator pads in reducing the incidence of gray mold on'Thompson Seedless' grapes. None of the combinations of ethanol and potassium sorbate injured the berries.
