  • The efficacy of thiabendazole (TBZ) to control postharvest decay caused by Penicillium digitatum of citrus fruit can be enhanced by co-application with sodium bicarbonate (SBC) and/or heat treatment. The impact of these treatments was investigated in citrus fruit, as a function of TBZ and SBC concentration and temperature, and were related to the amount of TBZ residues in fruit (total residues), in fruit surface, in the cuticular wax, and in the inner fruit. The residue levels of TBZ were determined in ‘Valencia’ oranges following a one min dip in an aqueous mixture of SBC at 0.5, 1, or 2% wt/vol, and TBZ at 600 or 400 mg/L (active ingredient, a.i.) and 20 or 40 °C and after 0 and 20 days at 17 °C and 90% relative humidity. The influence of SBC and heat on TBZ residue concentration on the fruit surface, in cuticular wax and on the inner cuticle tissue was determined in ‘Salustiana’ oranges after a one or three min dip in TBZ alone at 600 mg/L and 20 or 50 °C or for one min in TBZ at 600 mg/L and SBC at 2% and 20 °C. The efficacy of heat treatments with water, SBC, and TBZ, applied separately or in combination, was investigated on artificially inoculated ‘Nova’ mandarins and ‘Valencia’ oranges for the control of postharvest green mold caused by a TBZ-sensitive (TBZ-s) or TBZ-resistant (TBZ-r) isolate of Penicillium digitatum. The residue levels of TBZ in fruit, evaluated as total residues, were not affected by the co-application of SBC in most samples. While TBZ residues in fruit surface were not significantly affected by dip temperature or by co-application of SBC, the rates of diffusion and penetration of TBZ into cuticular wax markedly increased in the presence of SBC or when TBZ was applied in combination with heat. TBZ residues into the inner tissue of fruits treated at 20 °C were not dependent on dip time or by the presence of SBC and were similar to those found in fruit treated with TBZ at 50 °C for one min, whereas, significantly higher values were recorded in samples treated with TBZ at 50 °C for three min. When TBZ at 600 mg/L and 20 °C was applied in the presence of SBC at concentrations of 1-2% or 0.5-2%, it effectively reduced decay caused by the TBZ-resistant isolate of green mold in ‘Nova’ mandarins and ‘Valencia’ oranges. This treatment was also significantly more effective than TBZ alone to control green mold caused by a TBZ-sensitive isolate in ‘Valencia’ oranges. The combination with SBC and mild heat (40 °C) and TBZ at 400 mg/L generally improved the control of a TBZ-resistant isolate of green mold with respect to the combined treatment at 20 °C. TBZ efficacy was also improved when applied at reduced rates (200 mg/L) and 50 °C, significantly suppressing green mold caused by a TBZ-sensitive isolate of P. digitatum and effectively controlling a TBZ-resistant isolate. The rate of weight loss of ‘Valencia’ oranges was significantly increased by SBC treatment and was positively dependent on the concentration of SBC used in the treatment, while the temperature of the treatment solution had little influence on later weight loss.

Abstract
  • The efficacy of thiabendazole (TBZ) to control postharvest decay caused by Penicillium digitatum of citrus fruit can be enhanced by co-application with sodium bicarbonate (SBC) and/or heat treatment. The impact of these treatments was investigated in citrus fruit, as a function of TBZ and SBC concentration and temperature, and were related to the amount of TBZ residues in fruit (total residues), in fruit surface, in the cuticular wax, and in the inner fruit. The residue levels of TBZ were determined in 'Valencia' oranges following a 1 min dip in an aqueous mixture of SBC at 0.5, 1, or 2 wt %/vol and TBZ at 600 or 400 mg/L (active ingredient, a.i.) at 20 or 40 °C and after 0 and 20 days at 17 °C and 90% relative humidity. The influence of SBC and heat on the TBZ residue concentration on the fruit surface, in cuticular wax, and on the inner cuticle tissue was determined in 'Salustiana' oranges after a 1 or 3 min dip in TBZ alone at 600 mg/L and 20 or 50 °C or for 1 min in TBZ at 600 mg/L and SBC at 2% and 20 °C. The efficacy of heat treatments with water, SBC, and TBZ, applied separately or in combination, was investigated on artificially inoculated 'Nova' mandarins and 'Valencia' oranges for the control of postharvest green mold caused by a TBZ-sensitive (TBZ-s) or TBZ-resistant (TBZ-r) isolate of P. digitatum. The residue levels of TBZ in fruit, evaluated as total residues, were not affected by the co-application of SBC in most samples. While TBZ residues in the fruit surface were not significantly affected by the dip temperature or by co-application of SBC, the rates of diffusion and penetration of TBZ into cuticular wax markedly increased in the presence of SBC or when TBZ was applied in combination with heat. TBZ residues in the inner tissue of fruits treated at 20 °C were not dependent upon the dip time or by the presence of SBC and were similar to those found in fruit treated with TBZ at 50 °C for 1 min, whereas significantly higher values were recorded in samples treated with TBZ at 50 °C for 3 min. When TBZ at 600 mg/L and 20 °C was applied in the presence of SBC at concentrations of 1-2 or 0.5-2%, it effectively reduced decay caused by the TBZresistant isolate of green mold in 'Nova' mandarins and 'Valencia' oranges. This treatment was also significantly more effective than TBZ alone to control green mold caused by a TBZ-s isolate in 'Valencia' oranges. The combination with SBC and mild heat (40 °C) and TBZ at 400 mg/L generally improved the control of a TBZ-r isolate of green mold with respect to the combined treatment at 20 °C. TBZ efficacy was also improved when applied at reduced rates (200 mg/L) and 50 °C, significantly suppressing green mold caused by a TBZ-s isolate of P. digitatum and effectively controlling a TBZ-r isolate. The rate of weight loss of 'Valencia' oranges was significantly increased by SBC treatment and was positively dependent upon the concentration of SBC used in the treatment, while the temperature of the treatment solution had little influence on later weight loss.
