Implication

This study demonstrates the effectiveness of yeasts against Penicillium expansum in stone fruits, indicating their potential as biocontrol agents.

Key Points

  • Both yeasts significantly reduced the incidence and severity of Penicillium expansum in stone fruits.
  • Metschnikowia pulcherrima reduced patulin in three fruit types, while Pichia kudriavzevii limited patulin production in peach by 90%.
  • Assessment involved analyzing patulin production and expression of the idh gene across various fruit types.
  • The findings suggest the efficacy of biocontrol strategies varies with yeast type and stone fruit variety.
