Abstract
Apple cultivars are attacked by many fungal diseases, both on the tree and during storage. One of the most serious is blue mould, caused by Penicillium expansum. In this study, 5-(n)-alkylresorcinols (AR) were isolated from rye bran by the supercritical fluid of carbon dioxide and were used for the preparation of bioactive emulsions. These emulsions were applied to harvested fruit of five apple varieties to determine the levels of antifungal activity. A significant inhibition of disease symptoms was obtained after spraying some of the prepared AR emulsions on fruits that had been experimentally infected with Penicillium expansum. The most effective emulsions consisted of 0.025% (m/v) ARs, 0.1% (m/v) xanthan gum, 0.5% (m/v) Synperonic 91/6... (More)
