It was shown that the ability of three different strains of Penicillium expansum (NRRL 2034,
NRRL 6069, and CBS 481.84) to grow and to produce patulin in pears (cv. Spadona) and …

Aims: The aim of this study was to assess the opportunities of Penicillium expansum to
develop and produce patulin in apples during cold storage and in the steps prior to …

One of the most significant challenges associated with postharvest apple deterioration is the
blue mold caused by Penicillium expansum, which leads to considerable economic losses …

Wild yeasts isolated from the surface of apples were screened for antagonistic activity
against Penicillium expansum, the main producer of the mycotoxin patulin. Three …

Penicillium expansum is among the most ubiquitous fungi disseminated worldwide, that
could threaten the fruit sector by secreting patulin, a toxic secondary metabolite …

In this study, we investigated the pathogenicity and patulin production by ten strains of
Penicillium expansum on various fruits (apples, apricots, kiwis, plums and peaches) at two …

Although the antibacterial activity and toxicity to humans and animals of the mycotoxin
patulin are well known, its role in the postharvest decay of apples by Penicillium expansum …

Potassium phosphite (Phi) was evaluated for its in vitro activity against Penicillium
expansum and for its potential long-term efficacy against postharvest blue mold infections on …

Penicillium expansum causes blue mould rot, a serious post-harvest disease of apples, and
is the main producer of the mycotoxin patulin. The present study aimed to determine the …
