Natural pectin-based edible composite coatings with antifungal properties to control postharvest decay and reduce losses of ‘valencia’ oranges

The potential of essential oils (EOs) and natural plant extracts to inhibit Penicillium digitatum (PD), Penicillium italicum (PI), and Geotrichum citri-aurantii (GC), the most economically important pathogens causing postharvest diseases of citrus fruits, was evaluated in in vitro studies.
